Default RE: Goex Clearshot, / Pinnacle Powder

You are right on target with the recoil comparison. I shot the 100gr. BM3 with 300gr. SST and as stated it hit just over 2000fps on my chrono at 7000ft. altitude. The same volume of ffg 777 with the same bullet actually hurt to shoot compared with comfortable with the BM3 and the velocity was only 1643fps. To be fair if the 777 had been fffg the comparison would be closer but the recoil would still be awful and the crud ring is unbearable for me. My chronograph is the less expensive Chrony but the results are reliable.
