I have/had both 2f and 3f Shockey - not much difference in it and the regular APP... maybe strained a little cleaner. The 3f is much larger than T7-2f.

Well call me crazy folks.... I just ordered a jug of Shockey Super Powder from Midway $18.99 Shipping $4.99 total of $23.98

NO HAZ_MAT was charged - just checked with the credit card compat to verify

So anyway one jug coming....

Sorry it is coming from:

http://www.midwesthuntersoutlet.com/...%2BJDyOLrQE%3D

It shows it in a stick container, but the decription is correct for loose powder, because you certainly are not going to put sticks in BP cartridges..

I will verify in the morning...

JIM SHOCKEY'S™ GOLD™
SUPER POWDER™ - 1 LB. CONTAINER
•Developed for use w/in-line muzzleloading rifles & black powder cartridge firearms •Clean & superior performance w/flawless dependability •Velocity exceeds 1900 FPS w/most Thompson Center, CVA, Barnes, Nosler, or Hornady .50 caliber/sabot configurations using a 250 grain bullet & 100 grains of APP or Jim Shockey’s™ Gold™ Super Powder™ •NOTE: Jim Shockey’s™ Gold™ Super Powder™ offers a slight increase in velocity than standard APP Super Powder™ (0815066).

There is a good chance that APP renamed their Pinnacle powder that was formerly made for Goex. However, their claimed velocities do not match velocities obtained by 3F Goex Pinnacle as tested by Toby Bridges and Randy Wakeman.

It certainly does sound like pinnacle. Is pinnacle still available?

Did pinnacle powder have limits of 250 grain projectiles?
