I have a couple questions;

What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
Shelf life of each?

Thanks.

I've found T7 to be cleaner then Pyrodex
Shelf life will depend on how it's stored, but should be the same for both.

You'll get better results using the powdered versions of wither one

777 will draw moisture way faster then pyrodex. after finding blackhorn 209 i consider both junk powder.

Loose powder is the best

A comparable charge of 777 has more energy than the same Pyrodex. My order of preference is B209, then 777, after that Pyrodex, all loose powder.

If your gun and regs allow I'd use B209.

I 100 percent agree with. Savage62. Loose 777 is more consitant than pellets and so much cheaper ..........

Thanks guys. I am finding Blackhorn 209 impossible to find. Everything I have read about it says it's the answer.
