Guys, I just uploaded the new advertisements for Hodgdon's new Annual Manual to my magazine at: http://www.accs.net/users/drquick/hfhonlinemagazine.html, and also the newly announced Triple Seven Pellets... I have a pre-announcement sample of pellets in hand, and will be doing a product review article on them shortly... Be sure to check out the new Annual Manual... it will be available on newsstands, and is PACKED with loading data, articles and products etc... Very well done... Dave

Dave,

I've seen both good and bad on the net about 777.  

You won't hear bad from me.  Chris Hodgdon told me as far as he knows this is the first African animal taken with 777.



Rifle was a Westley Richard Improvement by Francotte , Martini in 577/450. The load was made up with Bertram brass, Winchester large rifle primers, 65 grains by weight of 777 FFG powder, a filler mix consisting of 5 grains each of 777 FFG and Cream of Wheat, Two discs of waxed paper as a lube barrier separated the charge from the fully lubed (including hollow base) .460/460 grain hollow base bullet, and plenty of crimp.

I don't know about using pellets in cartridges, but I do like the loose stuff.
