If you loaded 26gr of 777 ffg it would = 22.1gr of Goex fffg BP...for me that's alot in a .36 Navy.
Could buldge the barrel assy at the wedge and arbor, if you hadn't removed the wedge from shipping to you, and it was in too far. Just need it in far enough to stay and not too far in to bind up the cylinder to the forcing cone.. 15-20gr BP is standard to me, I think the .36 cyl only holds about 25-28gr BP anyway.
By the way if you use ffg 777 it's even more than 15% than fffg BP, buy the ffg 777 if you must use it.
