Gator Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: powder help No, but I am unsure what the charge difference is. I want to say that there is about a 10-15 percent difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never shoot more than 120 grains of loose, not safe !! Now this applies only to 777. If you shoot pyrodex, you can load 150 grains of loose powder safely. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
