This has probably been asked many times, but if someone can give me a quick answer it would be greatly appreciated.
I have only shot real black power in all my years of ML'ing, but with my recent purchase of a TC Omega, I'm going to use 777 powder. Now the TC manual lists the maximum loads for the Omega at 150 grs of Pyrodex Pellets, or Black Powder. I've read that 777 powder is 15% hotter than black or Pyrodex powders. Should I reduce my 777 powder max charge by 15% over the listed charges in the manual? I'm not saying I'm going to use the max load, but when working upwards from wherever I start to achieve the best accuracy, should I stop short of the listed max charge weight if I do indeed go that far?
