I have used Pyrodex and BH 209 and now use 777 and 777 is the most accurate powder i have used in my encore and i can use weaker primers that are easier on my breech plugs and easier to ignight so Its a win win or me with 777 . And ''ALL'' our sporting good shops here in town sell it and its cheaper than BH209 . Its $24.00 for 1 lb of 777 and 38.00 for 10 oz BH209 here . I bet all you need to do is go up or down a little with the amount of loose 777 and you will get her dieled in !!
