Here's a link to some results and discussion about Pinnacle:

Pinnacle is made by American Pioneer (CleanShot) for Goex, so you have to figure it's the same powder, just a darker color.  As such, you'll find the 2fg to be 5 to 10% weaker than Pyro RS.  I would definitely go with the 3fg cut of Pinnacle and for pistol shooting, expect that 5 to 10% drop in power and velocity when compared to Pyro P or Black 3fg.

The good thing about Pinnacle is that it IS clean shooting powder - the difference between it and black or Pyro is significant.
