Re: 777 powder charge
We shot the 300g SST bullets today at 100 200 300 and 400 yards. We used 777 powder 125g by volume. I sited in at 100 yards 3" high then shot at 200 yards 6" low. Then at 300 yards I put 12 MOA of elevation in the 1.5x6 Swarovski scope the impacts were 3" right of the X. Then at 400 Yards I put 24 MOA from a 100 Yard impacts were 12" right. I did not adjust for the wind 5 MPH form 9:00. We were getting 1800 FPS with the 300g SST and will be hunting with this bullet.

I believe 777 is intended to be measured volumetrically.


It is. I have no idea what 100 grains of the stuff (volumetric measure) would weigh, but I'll bet it ain't 100 grains!!!
