black powder question

[Guest tlondon]

My Brother-in-law has aquired about 17 1 pound cans of black powder. 3 of these cans are Meteor FFFG. I cant find much about this powder other than the cans seem to be pretty collectable. He dont use black powder so he will be getting rid of all of it but I was wondering if anybody here knew anything about the Meteor brand? Thanks for any help or info on this powder.

Never heard of that brand before either. Been around BP for a while. 3f is used in both rifle and pistol in .45 cal or less. You may call Dixie Gun Works in Union City, TN they are PB experts and maybe able to give you some additional info. Post a picture on the sight if you can would love it see what it looks like.
