The price difference per 2 2/10ths lbs is actually £29.50.

Swiss is superior in every way, far cleaner shooting, nice soft fouling, more consistent, more easily ignited and more potent. You need a lot more of krankies nutty slack than you do Swiss for the same velocity so that reduces the price difference as the Swiss goes further.

If krankies was the only black available I would seriously consider going back to loading smokeless ammunition and using pyrodex for muzzle loading.
