Biscuit......

NO problem using #11s and 777. I' ve gone through at least 2lbs of the stuff (2fg & 3fg) using #11 caps and have yet to have a weak- or misfire to date with that combination.

And it IS much cleaner than Black, Pyro, or ClearShot. However it does present some of it' s own issues as well. Breech plugs tend to stick more when using 777 and sometimes a " crud" ring will develop in the bore (near the breech) after each shot - requiring a cleaning patch in between each round before the next shot. It seems different guns & different bullet combinations affect these issues differently. I still HIGHLY recommend the stuff though.....best powder on the market......especially for in-lines.
