In my TC Renegade with a Green Mountain target barrel, I've always used black powder, then a couple years ago the shop I got it at closed, so I bought Pyrodex. I had good results except I didnt get that nice sulpher cloud. I shot a match and a lot of the competitors were using 777. So this year I bought some 777 ($24 ouch!) and every round without exception is a hangfire. I would immediatly load a BP or Pyrodex and no problem, go back to 777 and hangfire. I went and bought a Knight hot nipple and the same thing... maybe I got a bad bottle. I shot a couple matches this year and the guys are using American Pioneer powder, saying it a big improvment over 777, I guess I'm always behind, just give me real black powder, I clean when I get done shooting anyways.
