Powder type???

[steve egan]

Morning; I am new to muzzleloading and this forum. I have ordered no excuses conicals but I am looking for suggestions on what type of powder to use. The conicals are .504 and .503 caliber in 460 grain weight. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank You: Steve

I've used Swiss 3F for years in all my Whites.

Triple seven 2Fg or 3Fg is what I use very good powder in a white.

777 3f. Be sure to use powder not pellets which ever brand you use, will save you a lot of money and give you more choices of load size.

You are welcome Steve. I would use a starting load of 65 grs of the 777 and work up at 5 grs. If you are looking for accuracy. I have two Whiteligntings one likes 65 grs the other 80.

Morning: Can this 777 powder be bought at stores like Bass Pro Shops or Cabella's or other similar stores OR does this powder have to be bought online?

Yes it can

Thank you for the reply!!! Started to order some online and found out there is a HUGE fee attached to ordering black powder on line.
