roundball said:Anecdotally, it does seem that if Swiss Null-B was so much faster than Goex 4F that only select shooters who used it were winning matches, word would be out everywhere by now and everybody would be using it...dunno.
Add to that, old habits die hard.
roundball said:I think Larry Pletcher ran some sophisticated testing on different brands of priming powder, including Null-B...don't recall him including Swiss 5F though...maybe he'll see this thread and jump in.
