Swiss 1-1/2F
DMacKay:
With the limited to unavailability of 2f has anyone used 1-1/2F? I’m shooting a 58 cal and local shop has 6 lbs of 1-1/2f in stock which I’m thinking I may go buy right now.
Penske:
Mainly used for black powder cartridge guns. You may need to adjust your charge up a bit from your regular 2F load.
Regards,

snapper:
I used 1.5 swiss in my long range ML for quite a few years. Had ignition problems with it. Keep in mind that these rifles have a very small flash hole in the nipple and the flash channel in the breech is not as large as some rifles.
