Torador Matchlock - Finished

Stu,

What doesn't help us, is that some powders like Curtis and Harvey's, used a different grading system.
In their case TS2 was finer than TS6! No 4 powder being the "middle of the road" and used a lot in shotguns. It may well be that you recall No 4 powder, which is a world different from the regular 4F we see today.

All the best,

Richard.

Could well be. We had C & H and also Dupont powders (mostly) here in NZ, going back all those years. I have not been "in the market" for black powder of recent times so don't even know the brands now available.
