Could you guy's tell me the difference between FFFG 777 and FFG 7
Normally use the 777 FFFG, however looking on the container - was about to use I notice my supplier has given me FFG (Gold 7 instead of Silver on container label)  Would this be OK to use?

I use "two F" in everything from .32 S&W to 12 ga.  Gonna run a teeny bit slower if ya keep the recipe exactly the same is all.

FFg is best for cartridge reloading, but will work in a front stuffer rifle or pistol fine. Check to see how well your flask throws it. I have one of those small eagle flasks meant for a .31 cal. revolver I like to carry in my belt pouch, and occaisionally it doesn't throw a full charge if I am soft about throwing the spout down as I throw the charge.
It will be fine for CAS shooting, but see how it does.
The FFFg is of course a finer size, so works well in flasks and actually comes out to be a bit more powder in the chamber.

It is okay to use regardless.
