i get mine from WILSON&WILSON in kent.01843822242.never had any bother ordering from them.hope this helps.
Where can I find info about loads for pistol (initially .44 Remington Old Army) Where can I get 777 local to me? Can this stuff be sent in the post?
Having looked at the 777 post down he page - where is the BEST postal place to order?

I run 454 balls, wonderlube wads and 20grains of pyrodex P FFFG in my remmy
dont know if thats of any help?
shoots nicely at 25m, feels nice when fired.
Don't worry it only seems kinky the first time

in my pietta 1858 target version they are a nice fit, just catching the edge of the balls as they are pushed into the cylinder
I dont use any filler.
number 11 caps I have found are the better option, did have number 10's but they wouldnt seat right down fully and this lead to not firing the first time, but them the hammer seated the cap deeper and it would ignite on the 2nd time of asking

Hi Eagleman,
The loading data is on the net at 777 website
http://www.hodgdon.com/PDF/muzzleloa...?CHECKBOX_1=on
There are a gazillion warnings about not pointing guns at folks or eating 777 after dark, but if you tick the little check box to say you have understood these things it then take you on to the loading data for all sorts of guns including yours. Hope this helps.

they will not send primers through the post.i make my all own ball.give them a call .if they do what you want. try HENRY KRANK in leeds.as for loads i use 20% less when using 777.
Thanks very much all. Thanks for that link Blackrat.

My load, using 777fffg in a Pietta .44 is 15g by weight, filler (semolina - empty 9mm case full), plain felt wad and .454 ball.
Hi Eagleman
Is the 9mm case giving you too much ?
What sort of volume are you looking to throw ?

Not so fast Roy! I can't pick the gun up yet until my variation comes through.
No, I was just referring to John's post re his reference to using a 9mm case as a measure which is fine if you have such a case to hand but I haven't. So what to use instead to give the "right" measure?

How many do you want !
Failing that - I can send you 38 or 357 which you can trim to give the correct 'scoop' if you know what I mean !
I probably also have some of the Lee yellow powder scoops in various volumes (I dont use them & take them out of the Lee tubs & they then 'disappear' to the back of a shelf etc.)
Let me know - I'd be glad to send you a few cases for you to play with
Most people that want a quick 'fix' just glue a lolly stick to a case thats been trimmed to throw the correct volume
It anit pretty but it works .......
Speak later
Email is in my profile as PM inbox is invariably full ....Oooops !
All the best
Roy

Sent you an email Roy.
