24 gr 777 works for me. I use couscous as a filler as I find it much easier to pour than semolina.

PS My wife once bought me some garlic & coriander couscous by mistake. No effect on accuracy but it did smell nice

Looks like it's gonna be filler instead of wads for me. Shot 12 rounds at the club last night and the wads were all over the floor so I felt obliged to pick them all up. Used 21 grains of Pyrodex and it went well with plenty of oomph !
Smurf me up!
Hi Steve
I think that is a bonus not a negative !!! ..... pick them up & use them again !!
Perfick !!

I use 24g (volume) of 777 in my 44 Remie if using Pyrodex you can use the same as.
Tried wads shop bought, and made my own from felt - see any good model shop/craft type outlet.
Also used fillers as mentioned, however all I use now is Trex - veg oil based over the balls, you can mix in beeswax to make it a tad thicker. I got this from a US Cowboy Action Shooting website. The American's have a different name for Trex can't remember what they call it, but same thing.
Friend of mine always likes a big bang magnum rounds etc at max uses 30g (volume) of 777 in his Remie and gets good results, this I would say is the max and convey out of interest.
Pyrodex when used, you need to clean your gun pretty sharpish or you will get corrosion. Also 777 more user friendly when it comes to cleaning your pistol.
777 is about 20% more powerful than B/P or Pyrodex .

Yanks call Trex 'Crisco', I believe. Again, I believe that the yanks call semolina 'farina'.
2,602.00 GBP −10.00 (0.38%) at the close
slight tangent
I've recently aquired a modified Old Army which has a nitro/shotgun primer conversion.
Anyone got any advice hints or tips on loading this?

Roy, yes unfortunately they were beyond use, just split and a fluffy singed mess !
Smurf me up!
Hiya
I told one of the guys on Melville yesterday about my comment & he took great delight in collecting some of mine up & handing them to me
Its the first time I have looked at what the 'click/boom' does to them - not a lot to reuse I agree
Hope you are enjoying the gun !!

Yes it's great, my 2 boys love using it aswell, trouble is this time of year it's too dark to use the outside range so we are making plenty of smoke indoors. Still makes me jump when someone else shoots it !Hiya
