Default T7 mag vs t7

Has anyone tried the Triple 7 Magnum powder? and I wonder how it compares with regular triple 7? Thanks for the input.

I dont think Hodogdon makes T7 Mag Powder...??? are you talking about loose T7 Mag Powder?
Hodogdon does make T7 Mag Pellets, Hodogdon say's 2 50gr Mag T7 Pellets are the equivilant of 3 50gr T7 Pellets. I have had a few Friends try the T7 Mag Pellets and they could'nt get anything to group good with them. It does clean up real easy though.

I bought a couple boxes of the 777 mag pellets . I don't use them because my groups got to be basketball size. I tried then in several guns. I don't have anything that will shoot accurately wit them

okay, so I was going to buy some and try it, but for 19.00 bucks, Ill pass and stick with the regular T7 pellets over the mags....it sounds as though there hasn't been much for good results. Thanks for the input.

I tried them, no luck the groups were awful. Went back to loose groups got back to minute of angle. The pellets have a number of drawbacks, you can shoot Blackhorn cheaper than the pellets and you do not have to swab all the time to get accuracy.

The problem with BH is trying to find it, no one around here carries it. I don't care to pay freight on blackpowder products myself, damn govt regulations.
