Now you might wonder what in hek he be a doin startin a hoochie with the title 777. Well, Im getting to thet, but I havta tell a little story furst.

I was loadin up ma 58 powder horn with 2f while settin ona bed. Cus I was settin ona bed, I felt asleep. 2f powder felt all over the floor. Now me bein a frugal man (CHEAP), I started ta clean up what I had spilt. Dog came by and wagged its tail and threw half that powder under da bed. So I cleaned up the clean powder thet was outa under the bed and then wondered what I was gonna do with the powder under da bed. Well, I swept it out and saw it was full of bed leavins. I swept it all inta nother can and took it to da range to get some practice with. After all, there were still powder in there. My first shot with a target load durn near tore my arm off. I shot again ana same thin happened. So I got at thinking and I figured sumpin out.

777 is made of black powder and chopped up dust bunnies!

Now ya might wanna try this and I only have one piece advice. Remember the 15% rule.

Really!

Gatta tell you when i saw this "777" post on the traditional side my first thoughts were " God, I'm glad i didn't post that and second "somebody is going to be in trouble. Then when i punched it saw that you wrote it and thought - Oh Know! "somebody is going to get a lecture." But it was quite funny - actually I think that is where Hodgdon gets their 3f powder - it is the dust they sweep the dust off the floor at the end of a 2f run of powder.

A re-enactor type I know tells me that they mix flour into their powder, for more smoke and blast. I dunno, the only time my .58 musketoon damn near tore my arm off was when I shot the ramrod (steel), and a 560 grain bullet over 75 grains of ffg. I never did find the darn thing, but then again, I was pretty dazed at the time.
Bye the way, crow-feather did you get the hard crud fouling ring in the breech that many 777 users complain about? Can you press your dust bunny concoction into little rabbit turds? You might have a money maker there.

Triple FG .....( Fine Fine Fuzzy Grit ? :grin: )

A bit of advise! DUST from most things is EXPLOSIVE!

Any of you folks have a problem with excessive body hair?
Well here is the cure that I found!
Clean out your wood shop by building a small fire
in the yard beside it and throw all the little wood chips.
into the fire. Once a nice three or four foot blaze is
going fetch the box that stays under your table saw
to collect Sawdust. Shake said box Vigerously over
previously mentioned fire and PRESTO !
No More Body hair! At first you think
"MAN, IS SOMEBODY ROASTING A CAT"
from the smell !
then you realize that it is you standing in the
middle of a small MUSHROOM cloud!
Moral of the story!
WE ALL DO THINGS WE INSTANTLY REGRET!

Disclaimer... Don't try this at home, I was stupid enough
for all of us on this one!
