Put 5 cylinders through my ROA this evening. Stock cylinder with 40g of 777 under round balls. No cleaning between, went bang every time with Remington caps.
Nice sunset. Was pleased to see the new dog doesn't bark at gunfire. Sorry no pics.
Yea, I shot 6 cyl of 5 shots each through my '58 not long ago. I was using 24 gr 777 3f under .454 cast balls. I only swabbed the barrel for accuracy between cyl's.....very little fouling. No misfires, no problems. I am new to 777, and I like it. It makes me want to pour my Pyrodex P in the ditch.
Is 'real' bp .....Goex, Swiss, etc....better than 777?
777 will, over time, develop a 'crud' ring in the chamber that takes a bit of effort to remove. And it's sensitive to compression - sensitive in that it is inconsistent if over compressed. It also smokes less, which is a personal issue - some people like that and some don't. It's significantly more expensive most places. Pluses are that it's hotter, cleans 'easier' (I don't really agree with that, but it's the popular line) and takes less powder to get a given result, although that's really just another way of saying it's hotter.
