Smokeless powder Muzzleloaders should not be a problem.

    The Brass bullets are being shot from smokeless Muzzleloaders at 2700fps. I have not witnessed that. 2550fps was my max with the 200grn Bullet with BH209.

    No reason they wouldn't shoot with 777....just that you better have a 28in barrel and you still may sub-optimize the velocity as you won't burn the whole charge. I bet they would still hit 2400 fps though.

    The breech plugs are scheduled on a machine this week. I do know they are very busy with other work right now.
