Product Overview and Introduction

Experience the pinnacle of Swiss pyrotechnic engineering with the Swiss “Caviar” Ball 1.5-F (1.5Fg) Black Powder (1-lb Canister). Manufactured by the historic Aubonne SA mill in Switzerland—globally renowned since 1853 for producing the absolute highest-grade black powder on earth—this specialty spherical formulation bridges the gap between coarse and medium granulations to provide unique handling and ballistic advantages.

Affectionately known as “Swiss Caviar” for its distinct rounded, ball-like grain structure, this powder breaks away from traditional crushed flakes to offer ultra-consistent flow, exceptional packing density, and match-grade precision.

Intermediate 1.5-F Granulation and Spherical Advantage

The 1.5-F granulation serves as an ideal intermediate step between traditional 1-F and 2-F powders, making it exceptionally versatile for specific large-bore rifle cartridges and historical loads. Combined with the spherical “caviar” geometry, it delivers:

• Exceptional Metering Fluidity: The smooth, rounded kernels glide effortlessly through powder measures and drop tubes without bridging, ensuring consistent charges from shot to shot.

• Optimized Pressure Curves: Provides a progressive yet efficient burn profile ideal for large-caliber black powder cartridge rifles (BPCR) and specialized muzzleloaders.

• Uniform Packing Density: Settles evenly within cases or chambers for predictable velocity consistency and superior downrange groupings.

Unsurpassed Swiss Quality and Purity

Crafted using ultra-pure ingredients—including proprietary, handmade alder buckthorn charcoal and precise potassium nitrate ratios—Swiss powder delivers maximum energy output with minimal, non-caking ash residue. Its legendary lot-to-lot consistency is why competitive marksmen worldwide rely on Swiss.

Proper Maintenance and Safety Note

Because Swiss Caviar Ball 1.5-F is an authentic, high-energy black powder, it contains sulfur and produces traditional, corrosive fouling.

• Post-Shot Cleaning: Immediate cleaning with warm soapy water or a specialized black powder solvent is required after firing to remove corrosive salt residue and protect your barrel rifling or chamber from pitting and rust.

• Safe Handling: Always follow rigorous safety protocols regarding black powder storage, static mitigation, and proper measuring procedures.
