I never had all that much luck with 3 fff either; but the two FF does such a good job for me that only in my pistols do I use anything else.
I also find about 60 pounds of compacting pressure necessary for tight grouping.Lee
Again, maybe I was not seating the bullet hard enough. When I used to shoot Clean Shot, it worked just fine, but that was 2f grade. It shot very accurate. I just wanted to see if I could pull a little more speed out of things and see what would happen. You might be on to something with the courser grade and pressure as was already suggested.. thanks
this is why i stick with what works for me. No reason to switch powder and pay more and later on find out its not going to work out. I only use pyrodex RS in my inline and Goex in my flintlock. No problems with pyrodex in all the years ive been shooting the stuff.
frontier gander I could not agree with you more about sticking with something that works, Which is why I was able to break out the Goex and shoot groups to double check the powder. I personally like to test different powders, and projectiles to see if they might be better then what I am currently using, and just for the fun of it. But Pyrodex and Goex have always been good stand bye powders for me in the past as well.
