RE: Any advantage in using FFFG T7 over FFG?
The FFFg being finer grained pours easier in most powder and in Triple Se7en I honestly believes it ignites better in colder weather. Also because there is a small but appreciably noticeablepower difference, it will get things moving a little faster. I like it in my traditional rifles that shoot T-7 and in all my Whites other then the Bison. For some reason that Bison likes 2f powder. Some rifles like it, some hate it. All we can do is try.

I shoot Pyrodex P in the Genesis. 100 grains of Pyrodex P and a .458 300 grain Speer HP in a orange MMP sabot. Excellent bullet construction, amazing accuracy, and good down range thump.

Can not imagine that it would not work well in the RemGen, but I would suggest you reduce your load by 10% to start... T7 does generates its' peak power quicker than 2f so the pressures actually get a little higher than 2f andalso as cayugad says, there is usually alittle boost in velocity. I think 3f burns a little cleaner than 2f also.

I have not got around to shooting Triple Se7en out of it. I was sighting in three different rifles that week and then hunting season started.. I was a little busy. I will get to that soon though. Once I get used to this cold weather. I about froze today walking around outside.
