Hi Jim,
A lot of folks swear by Schuetzen, especially for BP cartridges.
Some years ago I purchased the Moose Wilkinson bullet and was trying to do load workups for it. Back Creek was out of Goex at the time, as I recall, so I bought Schuetzen powder instead.
I almost gave up on the Moose Wilkinson bullet because after about 3 shots the loading got very crunchy due to fouling. The Moose Wilkinson has very limited lube carrying capability.
Then I got more Goex. Suddenly I could shoot the Moose Wilkinson pretty much indefinitely.
So, my limited use of Schuetzen lead me to believe it was a dirtier powder than Goex.
