Old Eynesford and Swiss give about the same velocity per charge but Swiss fouling is a bit harder and dryer. 1.5 fg OE is my choice and I use a lubed fiber 1/2" filler for a bit of lubrication and to keep the flying bits from blowing back into me with a wind in my face. I have used lubed felt wads and they work well too. I have not used a lubed cookie but see not reason not to try it. 15 minutes of clean up time does not seem to high of a price to pay for the fun of shooting black powder occasionally.
