Default APP/ Balistics INFO?

I would appreciate it if anyone has any ballistics using the American Pioneer Powder, specifically the Schockey Gold using 100gr of powder, and with 180gr, 250gr, and 300 gr bullets. Any info or contacts would be appreciated, Thank-You Rodney

They claim APP is as powerful as Black Powder or Pyrodex RS. So the ballistics you find for Pyrodex RS would be close for the APP as well. Shockey Gold might be a little more filtered, but it is still APP.

I use shockly gold 3ff with 110 gr in a 300 gr cast bullet in a 430 sabot I also shoot the same bullet with 3 ff t 7 and use 100 gr not much difference in group a 100 yds. Just my experience with my gun. Though I have had simular results in 3 different 50 cal. Omega Huntsman and sidekick, present gun is encore

Should give you velocities similar to Pyrodex RS, but not quite of T7. Hodgdon's website has velocities for ML ballistics you can use and substitute for JSG. Use RS ballistics, as it'll give you a conservative estimate if you're shooting from a 28" bbl. Then you can enter your load information into an online calculator to give you the info.
