thanks for all the replies everyone.
So, I should start using loose powder instead of pellets? And should I go with RS, or keep using the FFG?
Also, Cayugad, what did you mean when you said "You could actually try that JSG FFg in your Thunderhawk as well. Then you do not have to worry about swabbing." Do you mean not have to swab between every shot, or what? I was just a little confused when I said that.
Again, thanks for all the help and information everyone.
Yes, shoot the loose powder. It will give you excellent performance.
What I meant was, Jim Shockey Gold 2f loose powder will shoot fine in your Thunderhawk, in case you do not want to invest in another brand of powder right now. I am currently testing American Pioneer Powder 2f in my Black Diamond XR and it is working excellent. I do find that instead of 100 grains I had to kick the powder charge up to 120 grains of loose, but the power and accuracy is exceptional.
Also shooting APP or JSG since they are sugar based, they do not need to be swabbed every time. For instance, I was able to shoot 12 XTP's with Pinnacle (another sugar based powder) without swabbing. I could have shot more, but ran out of projectiles. APP and JSG in many rifles do better when you do not swab between every shot. That is one reason I have been shooting it in my black powder shotgun as well.
