Does anyone use 120-150 grains of triple 7 FFFG

Yeah the cva is 120 and my tv black diamond is 150. Now that is black powder or the old RS I use to shoot. Like Bobcat said 777 is some strong stuff and with loose I don't know if I would ever go over like 130 with it. Even though I know enough people that shoot 3 50g pellets in there's. I am sure there is a difference in velocity on the pellets and powder that makes them a little lighter on velocity.

But keep in mind 3 50 grain pellets, either Pyro or T7, are equal to 150 grains of Black Powder or 120 grains of loose T7.  There are now T7 mag pellets that are more powerful.

I shoot 120g of 777 fffg with a 290tmz.

Yep, see I think that is a great elk load for many different circumstances from 20 yards to 200+

+2  Our go-to load for elk/deer.

Don't know about 777, but with real black powder, an overcharge would just result in a bunch of unburned powder going out the barrel.  wasteful, but not dangerous.
