I've been searching for real BP in my area for a while and haven't found a source. Even drove 90 minutes to a store I was told had it... no luck.
I ended up buying a pound of Hodgdon 777 fffg. My regular load with the cruddy Pioneer Powder fffg is 25gr in a.50 cal CVA Mountain Pistol. Since 777 is "stronger" than traditional BP and the Pioneer Powder is supposed to be similar, should I just start the 777 at 20 and move up from there, or do I need to start even lower?
As an aside, if anyone knows where to get the good stuff in the SF Bay Area (south bay) please let me know!
Thanks!
