Take a large...biggest you can find....flat head screw driver and unscrew the back. Use some WD or other solvent to help break the threads if needed. The spring, a retention pin, bolt and bolt should come out. Then take pics and lets see if you need a new spring. They are cheap if you do. |

I didn't like 777, but I can't tell you why its been too many years. So I've been using Pioneer Gold, 100 grs and a 280gr 45 cal minnie ball in a sabot. I hunted ID last year and its no jacketed bullets or sabots. Its really hard to find 50cal lead bullets. The BD has a problem if it isn't cleaned after a couple of shots, it start shoot low left. The first time I chased the bullet, when it happened the second time I figured it out. TC said to send it in, but how often do you shoot more the a couple of times in the field. It has a tight ball, it OK with sabots but I had to hammer the lead maxi hunter home to get it loaded. |

I shoot 2-50gr. Pyrodex pellets behind a 348gr aerotip powerbelt. I have only been muzzleloading for 2 years but I have harvested three deer with that load. The folks at Puyallup muzzleloading supply were very helpful and made sure I had everything I needed to prep, shoot and clean my gun. They also walked me through loading, cleaning between shots, and breaking down my gun to clean it. If you are close to Tacoma/Puyallup and considering muzzleloading or just looking for good info or help I would check them out. |
