If you're shooting large conicals.. well I had better results shooting Triple Se7en with the big chunks of lead.
In the sidelocks, I had some excellent days on the range with exceptional accuracy shooting patch and ball. I was shooting during the winter time, snow on the ground and snowing when shooting, and did not notice the powder sucking moisture out of the air, but then I did not load, and leave a rifle sit out there for two hours and then shoot it.
In fact my next order of powder, I fully intend to get some more Pinnacle...

Randy -
Your saying Pinnacle is nothing more then American Pioneer Powder in a different container? The reason I ask is Pinnacle is dark black in color. I always thought American Pioneer like the old Clean Shot was that dull gray in color. So what really is the difference? Other then that is shot real good out of most the rifles I tried it in other then the flintlocks....

I have bought a pound of Pinnacle but have not shot it yet. I have an unfired late 20th century T/C I am considering using as the first gun to shoot it. The thing has a 30" barrel and is a side lock. I will be shooting conicals first and then PRB's what grain loads should I consider?
It is FF Pinnacle that I bought.
