I have a omega 50 cal and would like info on using app 3fg. I understand that app is cleaner but is it as reliable and consistant burning as 777. I also wonder if changing to the small cal rifle primers will work ok. I will be trying to get better acc out of this gun using 300 to 330 grain bullets.I would like to get 1 to 1.5 in grooping at 100yds. do I have a chance of getting this from app or 777 in 3fg ?
APP is the most variable powder out there according to the October issue of American Rifleman, authored by Bryce Towsley. Given that it is more variable than 777, anything that is variable affects accuracy. If you want to get to 1 or 1.5" then use 777 would be my opinion.
