Now for a couple of more questions:
1. The powerbelts are easy to seat without a lot of resistance, would a tighter fitting projectile be more accurate? Is that the general rule of thumb?
2. I noticed that I had almost no delay when I primed the pan with less powder. I was also tapping the powder towards the touch hole so that it would dam up against the touch hole. I'm guessing this actually added to the delay?
3. I think cayugad mentioned using windshield washer fluid to clean between shots, can I do that with 777? I happened to find a gallon in my garage, and I thought this would work better than my spit cleaning.

1. Powerbelts are generally considered a loose fitting conical. If they shoot well for you, thats all you need. You could also try some all lead conicals. Maxiball, Great Plains, BullShop, in case you're not happy with powerbelts.
2. Many times with a flinter, less in the pan is better. You want that pan to explode with sparks. When you get too much, or push it against the touch hole you create a fuse effect where the spark ignites the pile and basically burns its way to the main charge.
3. Windshield washer fluid and isopropyl alcohol mixed 50/50. That is a good swab solution and will clean Triple Seven powder just fine.
