Only ever use Hodgdons published data when using 777. Triple seven is not a black powder substitute, it is a nitro powder that can be used in muzzle loading guns. Deviating from Hodgdons published loads can alter the burning characteristics of the load and produce dangerous pressure spikes. The consequences can be catastrophic. The published data gives only two loads for the ROA. They are 30 and 35 grains by volume of 777, with a lubed Ox-yoke wad and a .457 pure lead ball. That is not between 30 and 35, but specifically 30 OR 35 grains by volume.

Your chosen load could be dangerous.

If you want to use a black powder substitute, then get Pyrodex.
