I use FFF for everything.

FFF gives more bang for the same weight charge than FF, probably because the increased surface area of the finer grains. But FFF costs the same as FF. So you can use less powder for the same bang.

Not that I'm trying to make it one. If it's my fault I can't bring myself to take a file to the rear sight, then let it be known.
While you can't do much about point of aim without fiddling with the sights, you will be amazed what you can do with group sizes by trying different loads. Obviously you don't want to fiddle with the sights until you have achieved the optimal group.
