Default Will 777 work to prime the flint pan

OK now, I asked this in my last post but got no response.
From advice I've read in this forum I'm leaning toward using
777 powder in my flintlock.

Not to make it more complicated
but would 777 work to prime the pan with? I know it has to be a finer grade (fffg) but the water cleanup would sound good on the outside as
well as the inside, not to mention the absence of the rotten egg syndrome.

Anyone shoot a lighter round like the 245gr Powerbelt? Does 90gr 777
sound like too much for this round?

IM lovin this flintlock stuff, lots to tinker with!!!

THANKS FOR ANY INPUT !!! [I'm new to this]
