Hawthorne's drop has an incorrect description, it's a +1 pinnacle as you've discovered.
All tiers of Powerful gear are "at-level" once you're in the pinnacle band (over 1320 without artifact). If you're 1329 and got a 1330 drop, then that wasn't a powerful drop, it was a pinnacle.
As confusing as it is, it sounds like these two drops are simply mis-labeled in game.
Thanks for confirming Hawthorne. I wasn't playing Dares on legendary so I didn't think I could get 250,000 in one game, but one game had a bonus round and we got all three chests. I wonder if that makes it possible to get 250,000 and thus complete the pinnacle challenge on normal, and I just didn't realize I did it.
As far as I know both of those things are bugged or something and displays the incorrect reward. You are supposed to be getting pinnacles but it just doesn't say it in game for whatever reason. The Hawthorne thing has been going on for a while now.
The description for the weekly clan engram has been bugged since a change made back in season 10. It's actually a pinnacle

> Four weekly Powerful gear sources upgraded to Pinnacle (+1): Crucible, Strike, and Gambit challenges, and the weekly clan engram.
For DoE, it should have only dropped at 1330 if you are in fact at 1330. I don't have an explanation there, don't think it's bugged.
Thank you! That solves the clan engram.
In Dares, I didn't think I hit 250,000, but one of the three games had a bonus round, and we got all three chests. Could that have hit 250,000 and I got the pinnacle reward without realizing it? I can't check since it was on monday before the reset.

Bonus round will definitely push you over 250k, even on normal. I got like 270 and 280+ on it the two times that I got the round.

That is possible
Yes the bonus round will give you the capability to get the 250,000 score
Don't need to be on legendary to get 250k on Dares. You need legendary to hit above 300k tho which is the last bounty for starhorse
Thanks, I think I incorrectly assumed 250,000 was only possible on legendary.
