Okay if that is true about "777", then how does cleanup compare with "777" vs. the loose BH209?
I have shot both powders, and I continue to shoot T7 only because of the cost per shot of BH (I shoot a lot).

Cleaning? Well they could actually clean up the same if you wanted to. If you choose to clean with something like Hoppes #9 have at it - they both clean up great with with this operation almost the same as cleaning a centerfire - except for the breech plug area...

If you normally clean with the soap and hot water treatment for T7 - you do not need to with BH, or in fact for T7 either. T7 is also a smokeless powder so cleaning I would rate them as a toss up depending on which way you clean.

The DIFFERENCE in the two other than size of container, and cost per shot is the infamous T7 "crud ring" - if you get the crud ring you are realy going to like BH - If you do not like running a damp patch every-so-often - then you are really goingto like BH.

for now I am staying with T7 as I am just to darn cheap...
