Default Omega / Pinnacle T7 Load Data

Group Bullet Loadgr Powder FPS Ave
2.2 175 DC 110 Pinnacle 2F 1870
3.1 175 DC 120 T7 FF 2280
6.7 175 DC 150 T7 FF 2425
1.5 200 SW 120 T7 FF 2308
1.6 200 SW 150 Pinnacle 2F 2215
3.7 200 SW 150 T7 FF 2408
1.8 240 XTP 100 T7 FF 1961



Here is some data from the other day using 175 gr duplex dead centers and 200gr shockwaves. My opinion so far- pinnacle seems to be 200-400 fps slower than T7. When I used 150-gr pinnacle I could not get a dry patch down the barrel. Pinnacle seems to work well and be very clean at 100 gr or less. The other day I didn’t have to swab for about 6 shots and accuracy was still good. My opinion on pinnacle is stay with t7 if you want 1800 fps or better, you have to swab with both of them so you might as well use t7. I’ll probably shoot some more over the holidays if I can get the wind to die down. My best bullet for my omega has been the 250 gr shockwave but I did not have time to chronograph and work up a load the other day. It appears after as the speed goes up the group size widens considerably. I would like to find the fastest load that will give me 2’” groups or less.
