Default Powder question

I have always used pellets, but want to try some loose stuff. My local walmart has 1 lb RS cans for $5 on clearance. They also have 777 for $9. What one should I try out. How much to buy. Thanks Brian

Better get 'em both. You never know what powder a given gun or bullet is going to like, and it is unlikely you will ever see either of these powders on sale again this cheap.

Thanks I picked up two of thr RS and one 777 in ffg all for right at $20. I love the clearance rack. Now I just need to find a deal on shockwaves

I'd of bought them out at that price. Depending on what inline you shoot, you're going to have a lot of shooting fun with all that powder. Good luck.

I would have bought them out at that price. They never put that stuff on sale up in this neck of the woods. But I was lucky at Dicks sporting goods I got a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9X50 scope for $112.00 and 250 gr shock wave blue tips for $8.00. and yes I bought them out I got the last 3 boxes. I would have gotten another scope but I got the last one. Good Luck and good shooting Mike
