What's the diff' between powders?

While reading up on various loads, and powders of the BP kind, I observed that for specific loads of any one granulation (f, ff, fff) writers have referred to the differences between brands as throwing more or less weight because of their particular makeups/densities/manufacturing processes. Does this make any appreciable difference at the shooting line when you're just busting caps and punching holes in paper for fun?

I just received a Treso flask to charge my Navy Colt (44 type). The spout on it is supposed to dispense 30 gr. Now, if Pyrodex fffg is different from Goex which is different from American Pioneer which is different from etc. etc., what, if anything would I notice, realistically?
