Very simple: the 777 was compressed too much. It happens in long guns as well, although it's more common in revolvers because the loading lever makes it very easy to do.
777 is an excellent propellant. It's not necessarily 'better' or 'worse' than real black powder, it's just different. Like many things it requires one learn how to use it properly before it's true worth is realized. Many people say, "Why bother?", and I have no problem with that. As long as real black's available, it's an easy decision.
