I guess a lot of it is in your view point. For me with crud ring that I have with 777 I have to spend 5 minutes scrubbing and brushing between each shot. I will never shot that stuff again. Now Pyrodex is a good powder I used it for many years and still like it, and use it in some guns, it just takes a bit more to get the same results. I guess I am amazed at all the crying over a couple of dollars, if you don't like it you don't have to buy it, if you are not going to buy it why cry? Lee
Personally I've found the 25ACP conversion to fix the crud ring issue in every rifle I've tried it in, takes 30sec to swab and I typically wait longer to let the barrel cool anyways, and I found out that I prefer manipulating the 25ACPs more than the 209s with cold hands during the season anyways.

Nothing real bad at all. I was taking a look at the new Remington shotgun when a customer walked in. I listened to the whole conversation about 777 and BH209. When the owner was out of BH209 and the customer was pointed to powder valley the dispute began. The owner does have a point when powder is in stock. 777 cost $29.99 and BH209 cost $32.99. It's still more and you get more with 777. But i still prefer BH209. But when you look at online ordering 777 is way cheaper as you can see above.

You're right, I don't cry about it, I just don't use it ;D

Thanks for pointing the $'s 'Facts' out... You have always been about savaing a ML shooter $'s in the long run and again this points the $'s you might save if you choose to do so. It is really all about 'choice.' I am one of the people that does not have the problems with T7 that others do so it really works for me here in Idaho.
I leave guns loaded the entire season, when I do shoot one for hunting season I run a couple of patches of windex dry rhe barrel treat it with a quality bore oil dry patch and reload. I do not really clean the bore until after hunting season... so as I have always said I shoot a semi-clean bore. Never had a problem with corrosion in the bore with T7. It is nothing like BP or Pyro...

I find that one wet patch (spit) goes right through the crud ring . Never tried 777 with a 209 primer just the .25acp .
