Try Deer Creek for Goex orders ...they are cheaper than Grafs and Powder Inc.
777 can be used in a flintlock in a duplex load.
And like I've said before, that's alot of added aggravation and expense for a very questionable "benefit". Why would I want to spend more money for a fake powder, carry 2 horns and measures, take at least twice as long to load, and run the risk of a hangfire/misfire when traditional black powder has worked so well for hundreds of years and is readily available?
I dunno (fyrfyter43)... I think what's to be learned here is... to help someone finding themselves in a "what if". Meaning? Ya get a chance to hunt in a new location... get to your destination and realize you're human... and forgot your favorite powder. How do you effectively adapt and overcome? Ya never know when a tidbit picked up along the way... could come in handy for someone.
No sensibilities here to offend.We're just trying to help a fellow forum member who asked a legitimate question. Sorry we got your sensibilities all offended.
You know the Tread question here was Why real BP ??
How about the right answer to the question ...Because it says Black Powder only on the Barrel .
....Thompson/Center muzzleloaders are designed and intended to be used only with a commercially manufactured Black Powder or an approved Black Powder substitute, such as Pyrodex propellant of the specific granulation or type called for in this book-By Black Powder we mean a powder which is manufactured specifically for use in muzzleloading firearms as opposed to smokeless powder which is manufactured for use in metallic cartridges or shotshells. NO smokeless powder, even those which appear black in color, should ever be used in a muzzleloadingfirearm. Be sure you know what type and granulation of powder you are loading. Never buy or use powder unless you have seen it poured from the original manufacturer’s container which is clearly identified on the label. Use Black Powder or an approved Black Powder substitute, such as Pyrodex, only of the type and granulation specified in this booklet and never load charges heavier than those listed.
