Default RE: T-7 vs. APP measurements

For comparison sake, in my 50 cal Magbolt 100 gr of 777 2F is about 300 to 400 fps faster than 100 grains of APP 3F using a 300 grain Shock Wave.

That is about right. A friend has chronographed most smokeless powder subsitutes. According to him 100 grains of 2F JSGis about 100 fps faster thanan equalquantity of APP when used with the 250 grain SST/Shockwave.100 grains of Goex Pinnacle 2F is about 100 FPS faster than 100 grains of 2F JSG. He says that 100 grains of 3F Pinnacle is not far off 100 grains of 2F 777 in velocity.

Tried APP several years ago with results that were not good. Used JSG to very good effect on several deer and 10-15wild hogs. Have since switched to Pinnacle.
