777 I use it. Like it.

I have trouble getting BP for all the reasons given above. 777 is carried by my local gun shop.

Positives: The triple 7 doesn't foul and cleans up with soap and water. It doesn't require much lube (or any), though I still use lube pills.

Negatives: I have found that if you aren't careful about seating the ball on top of the load without compression accuracy goes south.

The best results I've had with it is when I filled the void between the ball and the 777 with corn meal so the ball is at the end of the cylinder. That way I can keep the compression consistent and accuracy is amazing. The only problem is that adding corn meal is another step that slows down loading and reduces the fun.

Conclusion: I have gotten good enough with the loading lever to keep my compression pretty consistent so the 777 has been working for me. Also, any problem with loss of consistency with compression is MADE UP with the consistency of a cleaner barrel on the third cylinder and beyond.

Still would rather shoot good BP.
