Try http://www.hodgdon.com/ml-warning.html you'll need to tick the box to get the 777 and Pyrodex load info.

Thanks chief, I knew that there would be somebody who knew where to look :-)
That'll be 30 grains then..
Next question is, the people I am getting my "balls" from have asked if I want grafite coated or not ?
Any thoughts ?

Although you can go to 35 grains of 777 in the ROA, which does make a satisfying thump
I find that somewhere around 20-25 grains is plenty for target use (I have the 5 1/2" barrel version)
