An acquaintance who wishes to dabble in the Dark Side went looking for a Sub (APP) and some All Knowing Nitwit in a big box store sole him a couple pounds of 777 as it was "the same stuff."

No water. The stuff STINKS to high heaven.For clean-up of Black Powder and Subs, I am a champion of PAM. Equal parts of Hydrogen Peroxide, Denatured Alcohol and Murphy Oil Soap. Works a treat. Cleans quite well. However, after cleaning I do apply Mobil 1 motor oil to lubricate and prevent rust.
For clean-up of Smokeless Powder, CLP. I have found nothing better than CLP. I happen to like "Break Free." As done with BP and Subs, after cleaning I apply Mobil 1 Motor oil to lubricate and prevent rust.

Do not use it for nickeled guns, it will eat the copper base of the plating, and the nickel will peel off.
I do however, like the distinctive smell

Developed in 1904, it had whale oil as an ingredient, I don't think it does anymore.
In the ensuing 120 years, many more modern products have been developed, but Ballistol is still around.
