Thanks again!

I'm not trying to steer anyone off one powder and onto another. In regards to 777, if you purchase a small tube of shotgun choke tube lube, the small nozzle works great for applying lube on nipples and cleanout screw threads. That little tube will last many years, if that's all you use it for.
I just got tired of the necessary rituals associated with 777, when using either a sidehammer or an inline.
