Default Pyrodex & 777

Can you mix Pyrodex pellets and 777 pellets. I havr a few hundred 30 grain pyrodex pellets I got on i/2 price sale and want to switch to 777 - 50 grain since I am out of 50 Grain pyrodex

My understanding is you should never mix powders. I think you'd be better off getting more of what powder worked best for you, and what you have left of the others to shoot them off if for nothing more then fowling shots.

I am not one that believes in pellets. The one true advantage I can see of pellets over over loose powder is, you might get a more consistant accurate charge if you take care not to damage the pellets prior to loading.
