Default quesion on triple 777 FPs compared to real BP

I have to say I have a little amount left of 2F triple 777 and I use 85 grains in my t/c thunderhawk.I am not a fan of triple 777 only because the recoil is sharp.The t/c thunderhawk has no weight to it lucky if it runs 6 1/2lbs .I can shoot the same bullet with goex 3F 110 grains and feel better in control only because the BP doesn't peek out on spike pressure like triple 777.
I am shooting the buffalo 325 and 375 SSB BTHP .The rifle print outstanding groups but really 4 shot is enough for me and 777 powder.I like to ask will the fps be around the same if I load 110 gr. 3f BP compared to 85 gr of 777?

I have know way to prove it other than simple math but I think you would find it very close....

Bud, with a 325gr bullet, you don't worry about a little difference in velocity...

Any charge from 80-110gr Goex FFF in any caliber is plenty for deer...

I shoot 80grs of goex FFF in both my Knight with a 300gr bullet and my .54 flinter with a round ball...Both are very effective...
