RE: Mixing the two ?
I actually think you could do so safely but you would be in pretty uncharted territory. Are you going to do this or is it just a thought? Or is it a " Hold my beer and watch this!" kinda thing.
Can' t see much advantage in doing that nor why you would want to??? So yeah, shame on you!! [&:]

RE: Mixing the two ?
Pyrodex & Triple Se7en are made & bottled in the same factory. A few posters have reported " sulfur-smelling" Pyrodex in their 777.... myself included.
My jug was approximently half-Pyrodex Select and half-777. I shot 30 shots with it that day. My groups were not consistent, but there was never any barrel pressures danger.
Every once in a while, the overhead powder feed line at the Hodgdon factory does not become completely empty when they switch powders for bottling. Hodgdon took my remaining 777 back to test it' s contents & shipped me a new jug of 777.
