First, thanks to all of you. Ok, loose powder which one? Do they sell 777 loose? I dont want to use black powder. Thats the only loose one i have ever used. That was in my traditional ML, 15 years ago.
Walmart carries Triple7 in FFG.
Thx, I will check that out. And that site was cool. Good info on there.
Use black powder. Its less corrosive than 777.
Saw a picture post on another forum where a guy used 777, and black powder on steel plates, and put them in an attic. Took pics every two weeks for a couple of months. The BP had very little corrosion, and 777 ate up the steel plate.

Here's David's web forum; http://www.dandtcustomgunworks.websitetoolbox.com/. He has a whole sub forum for T/Cs and Muzzleloaders.
i would try differant bullets like 300 gr Hornady SST or tc shock waves and one very important fact that alot people over look is when loading try always to seat the bullet with the same amount pressure it makes a big differance,a ml is alot like a bow everything needs to be the same with every shot,try this clean it,run patch down barrel with lube on it.then load and shoot it see where it hits.now clean it good and put one down the barrel without lubing it first,and shoot it.it will shoot way high. just saying make sure every shot for the ml is in the same condition everytime
Ditch the pellets. Buy this kit: http://www.eabco.com/store/index.php?p=product&id=76&parent=60&is_print_version=true
And start with about 80 grains of loose powder and work your way up noting accuracy along the way. Use the spit patch, dry patch method after each shot.

I won't use anything but black powder in my Remington. The last pyrodex I had got poured out in a post hole before I set the post....Have no use for the stuff.
I have heard excellent reports fromt he Blackhorn 209 loose powder. It's a tad pricey, but have heard that it burns very consistent. This all reminds me that I need to go to the range and burn up a bunch of pellets, and get back to the loose granules.
