I just saw an add for this, maybe its too new of a product for my question. Is this stuff any good??
If you're talking about Pinnacle... get the FFFg grade.The FFg grade I heard was very course, kind of like fish tank gravel. My sabot shooting rifles and sidelocks loved the stuff. I was able to shoot 12 Thompson Center Mag Express 240 grain XTP's out of my Knight Wolverine II without swabbing the barrel. The accuracy was exceptional.

If you're shooting large conicals.. well I had better results shooting Triple Se7en with the big chunks of lead.

In the sidelocks, I had some excellent days on the range with exceptional accuracy shooting patch and ball. I was shooting during the winter time, snow on the ground and snowing when shooting, and did not notice the powder sucking moisture out of the air, but then I did not load, and leave a rifle sit out there for two hours and then shoot it.

In fact my next order of powder, I fully intend to get some more Pinnacle...
