On a recent visit to the LGS blackpowder counter someone mentioned using Triple 7 in a '51 Navy. I realize in a perfect world, nothing but holy black should be used, but i have to ask if anyone has tried this particular substitute in a handgun, and what results one might expect. I read about one fella with a pocket model with mixed results, but that charge is kind of tiny. Anybody try it with at least a .36 Navy?
