I'm on a learning curve with this powder. Both Triple 7 FFg and FFFg. I'm still working on squeezing out the best accuracy with different rifles which is normal when using a new powder. But my learning is coming in with dealing with the infamous crud ring. Shooting this powder in my inline rifles and I've had patches get stuck just at or below the ring and needed to remove the BP a few times or dig my patch worm out of my shooting box.
I've since learned that, while I always used short strokes swabbing between shots, now when I reach the crud ring I have to shorten these strokes even more until the patch goes easily through it. Otherwise the ring grabs the patch and pulls it off the jag.
Although it can be a hassle, now that I'm getting the hang of swabbing the bore using T7, it's not so bad. I'm also liking the groups I'm getting vs BH209 and even my favorite Black MZ.
So if you decide to use T7, swab gently my friends!!!
