Because the granulation of the loose FFgis so coarse, Iwouldn't use any APP besides theFFFg.

I noticed that the tables didn't list the APP FFFg at all.
FWIW, it's probably more potent and consistent than FFgtoo.

Does your rifle have the Knight Power Stem for a more efficient powder burn?

no, my rifle does not have the power stem breech design.

I shot it the other day using FFg APP and was kind of surprised at how well it did. While it did not give me as tight a group as I demand, it gave me a starting point. I used 100 - 150 grains of the loose powder that that extreme fluted barrel is smooth. Very little recoil. It actually started shooting pretty good around 130 grains of APP and a Shockwave. But it was getting late in the day and I decided to stop and shoot a couple other rifles that day as well... So I do have some good experiences so far with APP.

When I get a scope on the rifle I can then be sure that it is the rifle and not me. With fiber optic sights I admit I am not always 100% sure it is not me instead ofthe rifle.
