Using 777 in Old Army
« on: August 27, 2008, 10:41:21 AM »
 I'm going to try some 777 and was wondering can I use a wonderwad? I read somewhere not to use any patch or lube when using 777.
 Also any recomendations in cleanup, can I use water base cleaners?

I use tripple 7 2f in my old army.

most of the time i use it in shells with my cart. conversion cylinder.

but have used tripple 7 with cap n ball in the old army.
i stuff with powder ball and crisco/ wax mixture on top of the ball to seal off the chamber.

clean up is easy. use 10% ballistol mixed with 90% water.
spray gun down with this mixture and wipe down outside, then bore snake barrell. patch out cylinder

takes about 5 mins to do this way.

also do same clean up when i use the cart conversion cylinder.

I'M #330 DIRTY RAT.

Never had any lucky with acheiving the accuracy of say Goex fffg Black Powder in any Rev, inculin' my New ROA...too touchy about compression in a C&B Rev. to be consistant...better results usin it naked, as it has lubrication consistancies of Pyrodex. Works great in Cartriges or Rifles but not with a lever pressin' it 6 times in row w/o puttin' too much pressure on the stuff.
I may try it in the New R&D I just bought.(at least to use it up) :D
