You'll see little difference in POI...I sometimes use Pyrodex R-S in my inline when WalMart sells it for 7-10 bucks a pound...I use the same charge with Goex, but I use FFF because I use this for my flinters...
My inline load is 80grs FFF Goex and a .430 Hornady XTP inside a Harvester sabot...
My round ball load for my .54 is also 80grs FFF Goex...

If he uses 2F for both Pyro and Goex. He'll have to increase the Goex about 10gr.
Say what you will. Too many tests have proven that Pyro has more power than Goex.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. But I may have time to shoot all day on Sunday. So i could mess around, but I dont know. Thanks for all the info. Atleast It gives me a starting point for this summer. I just figure If I'm buying Goex for my flintlock I might as well buy it for all my sidelocks. No one carries it here and I have to order it from Powder Inc. So its cheaper the more I buy. If I can figure out what I would shoot in a year and just make a larger order every winter.
