What are you paying for 777? The local Walmart in Arizona has it on the shelf for $27 a pound. I have not found a single bottle of fff either. Apparently they only supply ffg to local stores. I have checked two gun shops also and they only have ffg.

Same with me MLKeith... our local Wal Mart sells Triple Se7en FFg for $24.95 a pound. On the end of the season sale they had it down to $15.00 a pound so I bought several pounds. They have never stocked FFFg grade here.
The big seller up here is American Pioneer Powder in FFFg grade. There are a number of little sporting good stores that carry, sell, and swear by the stuff....
My father who lives in the big city in the southern end of the state I have asked a couple times to check the sporting good stores for Triple Se7en or Black Mag 3 but at his age he is getting more lucky to remember just to go home at the end of the day.... I think I have to make a trip south and shop one of these days. I might be missing out on a lot of good things....

Wally World here is the same way........................too high until the season close out. There is only one store in the county that even carries BP supplies, so I watch it like a hawk as hunting sason closes to catch the close out prices.
Otherwise I have to drive about 30 miles south to a shop that charges on average $5 a lb more than internet retailers for ANY powder. So I order just about everything. Sometimes I can get lucky & get what I need at the Bass Pro in Orlando too - as they are a tad cheaper than that local shop. But if I want at least 3 or 4 lbs of powder, it's always cheaper for me to pay the hazmat fee & get it on-line.
