777 is not Black Powder!
Please throw all of your ground powder away.
Next I would pull the balls and dump that powder also.
You can use FFg in your revolver without any problems.

I take the linkage, handle and bolts off. Remove the sizing die and the plunger.
I then put it in the oven on about 200 F for 20 minutes. Prop one end up so it all runs out.
Wipe it off, let it...

I recently talked with the ceo of Mueller about the lack of pistol scopes. I thought we were down to just Leopold and Burris. Looks like we're down to Burris for the heavy Handguns.

Not this bullet, but I did try some 70, 80, and 90% meplat, 320-350gn bullets out to 1000yds at a Linebaugh shoot.
These were shot out of a Taurus Raging bull 454 at 1350fps.
The 70% meplat...

My guess is that there was some dirt in your brass somewhere. I had that happen with some 44 AutoMag brass several years back. I changed out the media and the problem went away.

Great job Frosty :)
Any pics of your pile of Hogs?
I think the eating part has something to do with what they eat???
Here in southern Arkansas, the hogs are pretty tasty, even the big ones.

What is the twist rate on the barrels? I haven't seen it listed anywhere.
Also on their site, they list a 44mag and 45Colt. Not sure if they are available in the US or not...

Are you using open sights or a scope?
If a scope, make sure the base screws are clean and loktited in place.

I ran the numbers through Quickload and this is what it spit out.

My first heater was an old clothes Iron set on a steel plate that the Lyman 450 was mounted to. I'd just plug it in until the body of the luber got warm and the lube started to flow, then turn it...

I put down an Elk many years back with a head shot from a 350gn 45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk travelling around 1250fps. The bullet had a 90% Meplat and was cast of water dropped WW. It punches a perfect...
I used the BPI manual. I looked at the data for 1, 2, or 3 000 Buckshot, then backed off a reasonable amount and tried 4 balls.
I used a roll crimp on top to close it up.

This is the way I did my Swedish rolling block and it turned out great.
I bought an assortment of piano wire at a hobby shop. It came in 3' lengths and was straight.

That 358 African sounds amazing.
My projects for the next little bit is getting a CZ527 223 to shoot well with 50gn tnt Speers. I'm down to about 1/2" groups but I think there's still room for...
I have a Judge and my son has one also.
I load 4 000 buck in a 2.5" hull with 2400 powder.
With 45 colt loads, it's reasonably accurate. Guaranteed I could hit a goblin at 25yds.

I have lubed and sized the ranch dog bullets in my Lyman 4500.
