I fired four of my revs with 777. So far, I'm pleased.
Two 1858s with 20 grain loads (it felt hotter than 25 grains of BP or Pyrodex and the POI was higher too.)
A Colt 1860 with 20 grains.
And a Ruger Old Army with 34 grains. (really bucked)
No wads or filler.
Accuracy for the 58s and 1860 on par with Pyro and Kik. But the old Army was a little less accurate than with 30 grains of BP.
Obviously, some more shooting is necessary.
Clean up was a dream. After washing in a bucket of hot (from tap) soapy water the barrels and chambers were 95 percent clean. I wiped them out with patches and oiled.
