Product Overview and Introduction

Experience the gold standard of precision shooting with the Swiss “Caviar” Ball 2-F (FFg) Black Powder (1-lb Canister). Manufactured by the historic Aubonne SA mill in Switzerland—celebrated worldwide since 1853 for producing the highest-purity black powder on earth—this specialty spherical formulation offers unmatched handling and ballistic consistency for competitive shooters and black powder cartridge enthusiasts.

Colloquially known as “Swiss Caviar” due to its distinct rounded, ball-like grain structure, this powder departs from traditional crushed flakes to deliver superior flow characteristics and exceptional packing uniformity.

Medium 2-F Granulation and Spherical Advantage

The 2-F (FFg) granulation provides a medium, progressive burn rate tailored for full-sized muzzleloading rifles and large-caliber cartridges. 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 identical charge weights or volumes from shot to shot.

• Optimized Pressure Curves: Delivers a controlled, efficient energy transfer ideal for 50-caliber and larger muzzleloaders as well as historic black powder cartridge rifles (BPCR).

• Uniform Packing Density: Settles evenly within cartridge cases or chambers to promote consistent ignition velocities and tight downrange groupings.

Unsurpassed Swiss Quality and Purity

Crafted using ultra-pure ingredients—including proprietary, hand-selected alder buckthorn charcoal and precise potassium nitrate ratios—Swiss powder generates maximum energy with minimal, soft fouling. Its legendary lot-to-lot consistency is the primary reason Swiss powders dominate podiums in national and international shooting competitions.

Proper Maintenance and Safety Note

Because Swiss Caviar Ball 2-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 and chambers from pitting and rust.

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