Who Has Used Pinnacle Powder?

[falcon]

Just ordered some 2F and 3F Pinnacle powder.Think that Cayugad mentioned that he had used it a lot.Any load suggestions?

I use 80 to 100 gr depending on bullet with my encore and 54 percussion. I like 3 f in rifle I use 2 f in 12 gauge.

It depends on the rifle and what I am shooting. In my Wolverine LK-II I used to shoot 80 grains of Pinnacle 3f powder and a 240 grain XTP with good accuracy. When I shot roundball I used 90 grains of powder and the roundball.

It did not shoot conicals real well, but it is very clean, had good power, and I kind of liked it. Although some of my rifles hated the stuff.. I works real good in black powder revolvers by the way.

I bought a can of the 2fg. It is very clean and I didn't notice a crud ring, but the acuracy with conicals was not as good as T7. I've been using it in my 12 gauge. Of note, the granulation is very large for 2fg, more like 1.5 fg, it tends to get stopped up in my powder measure requireing a few taps to get it to fall out.
