RE: Encore users-Triple 7 and FFF
WOW.. Sabotloader, you really got them conicals moving there.. I'd sure hate to be on the other end of that big chunk of lead moving at some of them speeds..
As for the FFF I shoot it all the time in a lot of rifles. Not just Triple Se7en either. I like the smaller grain powder. As for max loads, I never go over 120 grains too often unless I am positive the rifle I am shooting can take it. White, Thompson Center and Knight inlines I am pretty confident in. If you look on Hodgdon's site they show some tests with the Triple Se7en FF VS the FFF and there really is not a lot of difference in the velocities. Not as much as I expected. So while there is an increase in barrel pressures, I wonder to what extent. But as long as you load what you consider and the manufacturer considers a safe amount of powder I have no problem pulling the trigger.
