Here in Orlando there is only one place I know of to buy BP. Black Powder will cost you $20 per lb here. Pyrodex and 777 are easily found. Pyrodex is $20 and 777 is $24. My point was that out Pyrodex, BP, and 777 my last choice would be to use Pyrodex. Since 777 loads can be reduced by 15% and maintain the same energy as BP then that 1 lb can of 777 is like getting 1.15 lbs.
BP isn't available here without a 136 mile one way trip. Last Pyrodex I bought was 16.00. 777 was 26.00. Pyrodex is lighter than bp so it also goes further. Pyrodex isn't nearly as corrosive as most people believe, bp is even less so. I've never used 777 and at 10 bucks per lb. difference I won't.
