[QUOTE="pooldoc, post: 871128, member: 53618"] I second the suggestion that you trash the 777 and go to BH 209. Its cleaner, more consistent and really performs well. The BH209 web page contains sugested loads for a wide variety of bullets and a lot of other valuable info. such as suggested primers etc. They also sell charge tubes calibrated for BH 209 by volume to avoid any issues about overloading etc. I have 3 Knights, a Disc Elite, a Master Hunter and a Long Range Hunter all 50 Cal and all using bare primer conversions. I have tried almost all the saboted bullets on the market except for Knight's new Bloodline. I hunt west Texas where 150 yd plus shots are the norm rather than the exception. For this year I'm using 2 different loads. I use 110 gr. by volume BH209and a CCI 209M primer for both. One load is Hornady's 300 gr. SST and either MMP's or Hornady's 3 pedal easy load sabot. For the other, that I just use in my LRH and I use Harvester' s 300 gr PT Scorpion and their black crush rib sabot. I can routinely count on a sub MOA 3 shot group at 100 yds with all 3 rifles.
