As Articap stated, watch 777 loose powder as it is hotter than say Pyrodex. In loose powder,measured by volume, 120grns of 777 =`s 150 grns of Pyrodex. There are a few other powders on the market that are in the same boat as 777(hotter than the norm). Also all M/L`s are not designed to shoot the same max. load. A reminder to all us B/P shooters, CAUTION: ALWAYS READ THE MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS ON POWDER CONTAINER AS ALL BP POWDERS/SUBSTITUTE`S ARE NOT THE SAME. ALSO, ALL M/L`s ARE NOT DESIGNED TO SHOOT THE SAME MAX. POWDER CHARGE. READ MANUALS.
