I shot 777 in my Encore 14" barrel for years with a 250grn Shock Wave. I would use the 777 loose powder and 80 grns. I have taken whitetail out to 80 yds with it and all pass through shots.
I cut a rifle muzzleloader down to 14" and used a rifle forend with the tension spring to hold my ram rod.
Good luck with your muzzleloader.

Mike
