777 loose should remain in a different moisture / aging discussion than pellets. My FFF works fine after 10-11 years of little or no use (per range work yesterday).

It's how you store it that matters-most. Must be kept tight-lid in a cool, dry place. I cannot use/trust pellets, having five MLs, all but (1) are sidehammers. Plus, I favor FFF powders over FF.
