you are in or close to Philly?

time it with The Nations Gunshow, (I have tables, PM me if you do go) or a similar even and swing thru Winchester,

FT Shenandoah is the place the NSSA has a lot of comps, maybe time it with an event there?
his place is literally at the exit , as it empties on the hard surface road,

I've shot a lot of it. It is strong and consistent. 70 gr from a powder measure in my 45-70 gives me over 100 fps above what I used to get with Goex, and less than 20 fps variation shot-to-shot. It is good stuff.

I live in AZ so I mail order stuff. Graf's powder shoots well for me in percussion as well as flintlocks. Decent powder.
