20 grains of 777? I guess that's enough (obviously, hehehe). Is that a normal powder charge for a patched round ball?
It is when I hunt squirrels, rabbits and groundhogs. I guess if I was shooting farther I would up the charge but 20g has a surprisinglygood punch to it. Plus there's no sense in beatin' up the shoulder if you don't have to.
