Anyone have any experience with shooting Triple 7 in FFG? Plus .54 T/C Maxi Hunter prelubed bullets? Thought I would try it out in my 63 carbine. Hogflats NEVER FAIL TO SHOOT, NEVER WAISTE A SHOT

Hi hogflats

I tried Triple 7 in my Ped. 59 and it didn't like it at all. That being said there is only one way to find out how it will shoot out of your rifle. My 59 Ped. likes Clean Shot, like I said I have tried Seven and BP but the gun shoots much better with the Clean Shot, by the way don't forget to use less Triple Seven than you would BP, Like 15% less.

I've used triple7 in cartidges, 40/70ss 45/60win, didnot like it at all. It is really hot, too hot for the antiques I'm shooting. Besides it was less accurate than bp.

Thanks.I reurned that triple 7 to the local walmart. Will maybe try cleanshot, Or maybe American Pioneer, or stick to BP. Plus I ordered some 425 gr. rapine bullets from Dixie. That ought to work huh. Hogflats

Hi Hogflats,
I have just used BP and Pyrodex, both rs and p in my .54 carbine. I HAVE use TC's maxi balls in .544 @1978, then they had 2 grease grooves if I remember correctly and shot to the same POA as my Buffalo Slugs from Shiloh. Also managed to down a big Black Bear with a TC maxi.
Best, Gregg
