Default New American Pioneer coming out!

Just was reordering a new supply and the guy on the phone was wondering if i knew about the new powder they have coming out.

I forget the name of it, but its in loose form and a 100gr volume charge will get you 1,950FPS. This is going to be some interesting powder to try out! I ordered a case of it along with some of the APP- JSG Super Sticks.

It may be something like Pinnacle that APP made for Goex. When Hodgdon powder bought Goex they stopped buying Pinnacle from APP. Pinnacle is hotter than APP or JSG: But it will not get 1,950 fps from a 100 grain charge when using a 240-250 grain bullet.

i recently got in two cases of Pinnacle from a supplier @ $10 per can plus hazmat.

Randy Wakeman tested Goex Pinnacle 3F and liked it. Wakeman was able to get 1,876 fps from a weighed charge of 100 grains when driving a 250 grain bullet. Toby Bridges also tested Pinnacle and his results were about the same.

Who did you order it from? All the dealers on the APP site that are close to me never heard of it yet. Is'nt this stuff real close to Black Mag3 in composition?
