Alox & 777

[Dave Fox]

    Have a .44-40 revolver that binds up using black powder. Am going to try 777 for the first time. I normally lube bullets using SPG. Can I lube bullets with Alox when loading with 777 ?

[Drydock]

Stick with the  SPG.

Instead of changing the bullet lube, try lubricating the base pin and base pin bushing with wheel bearing grease instead of lightweight gun oil.

What kind of revolver?  Unless it's a Uberti top break, I've had no problems with most any solid frame revolver and BP.  Though Remingtons of any kind do like a heavier Grease on the cylinder pin.
