I use 777, but have shot the pyrodex r/s at Harrisburg fish and game with a tc encore rep, and it worked very good.

RS is a great powder Very consistent and very accurate. It may smell like rotten eggs during clean up, but its a good accurate powder and does not create a crud ring like T7

Most likely. Do this the next time. Run a damp patch down the muzzle end, then look through the breech end and tell us what you see.

the crud ring comes from smashing the pellets, I learned that I only have to lightly seat the bullet and not jam it down in and now the crud ring doesnt start till I accidently forget and crush a pellet. get hotter primers if you have to jam the jag through to clean it, the powder will burn more consistant and that will help with the crud ring also.
also clean fequently and swab with bore butter.
oh im also new to muzzleloading so anything that ive found that helps my gun shoot better and stay cleaner may not mean anything to enthusiasts that have been doing it for years.

The crud ring comes from the fact that T7 is sugar based. Crushing pellets, using loose powder, Its still going to be there no matter what.

well your gonna have a bad crud ring if you, dont clean the gun every couple shots, use cheap primers, and crush the powder.
I have no troubles with triple 777.

no such thing as cheap primers. Hot primers cause an even harder crud ring. Primers like the cci inline mzl, winchester 777 primers are low temp primers made to help reduce the crud ring.

I strictly use Blackhorn209 in the inlines and American Pioneer in my sidelocks. Goex for the flintlock of course.

My way of thinking, and using 777, in a hunting situation either inline or rifle, your first shot will be or should be out of a cold clean barrel. At the range I clean the inline after every shot, and I am getting excellent groups. I figure what ever works for for each of us, is all that matters.

I dont know what 209A is but all 209 primers will work in any inline. I use cci 209m primers. the m stands for magnum.
