100 grains of Triple Se7en is said to be equal to 115 grains of Goex 2F. When you think of black powder power think in term of Pyrodex and you will be real close. I shoot a lot of Goex 3f and then load that as I would load Triple Se7en powder....

Actually you have to play with the loads a little and see what burns best. If your rifle shoots excellent with 100 grains of Triple Se7en it might get the same accuracy with 100-115 grains of Goex 2f.

That's also why they suggest lower charges of Triple Se7en in many owners manuals because it is said to be 15% stronger. But in all honesty I have never put it over a Chronograph and tested the two...
