H777 in Ruger Old Army

[frosty]

This forum has been very helpful in my quest to find the altimate load for my Ruger old army...My question now is H777 (claimed by the manufactuer) supposedly produces erratic velocities and dangerous pressures under high compression(not to concerned about the pressures,because its a Ruger). My concern would be erratic velocity because it probably be quite inaccurate.

Frosty tha shooter had a very shiney ruger (Off key cause i CANT sing!)

Hi, good mood, please dont take it bad.

Nah, tha Smith got this one licked a while back with either duplex loads or musket cap nipples. My personal load now (Best over chronograph is 7.5 grns of 4f Swiss, rest H777, fiber card wad, lubed and either his 'kill em quick' or tha new bullet.

AHNOLD could load tha thing compressin it with tha help of a blacksmith and two stong boys and it DONT vary morein 40fps in six rounds. And i DO use tha musket cap nipples too!
