The general comments from Goex is that the powder is reformulated to be more moisture resistant and ignite at a slightly lower temperature. Time will tell I guess. I have several pounds of fffg but the weather in Arizona is still holding over 100 degrees so it will be a while before I can add to this evaluation. I never noticed the moisture thing with Clean Shot but it is pretty dry here (duh!!). I am hoping that the Pinnacle will compare favorably with Black Mag'3 and maybe be easier to get since Goex already has distribution set up.
