I was browsing the 2015 Hodgdon book today and 7977 seems to run neck and neck with 780 for most purposes, and a little ahead here and there. They seem to have gotten a lot of load date together as well. All that and copper killer and temp stability too. If there's no more RL 26 at the LGS next time, maybe I'll pick some up.
With all the slow burners out there now, no wonder they let 780 slide.
