Several years ago i used a lot of granular APP, then called Clean Shot. Started experimenting with JSG in about late 05 and used it extensively on deer and wild hogs for a few years before switching to Goex Pinnacle. Goex Pinnacle is no longer available, so i'll just go back to JSG granular when my supply runs out.

IMO: The JSG sticks stink. You have to crush them to get it to light properly. Not sure about the super sticks.

APP, JSG and Goex Pinnacle have a very good time to pressure. They are able to get good velocity from much lower pressure than the other powders. That is why the breech plug is easy to remove after firing 20-30 rounds.

JSG 3F is much more powerful than APP. Yep, JSG is not as powerful as 777, thats why i use more of it. There is sometimes a long learning curve for a guy who has never used JSG. Some never get it right. JSG likes a tight fitting sabot seated very hard on the powder. Put a furniture knob or golf ball on the end of the ramrod and lean on it with both hands. A consistent loading pressure from shot to shot is very important when using JSG. If you start to get vertical stringing you ain't doing it right.
