Default RE: Goex Clearshot, / Pinnacle Powder

The character of this powder is slower light off time than 777 as you can feel by the relatively soft recoil compared to same velocity of 777 charges. It continues to burn and form pressure as the projectile travels the barrel resulting in higher velocity than same volume of ffg 777 and higher resultant velocity with less perceived recoil (enough fancy words???). Yes I consider a 120gr. charge of BM3 to be MAXIMUM in any rifle. I only shoot 90-100gr. in my Omega and with 300gr. bullets get over 2000fps with a 209 primer and the 100gr. load.
