777 pellets

I am sure I could have search this but this is more fun. I was wondering right now I am using 777 powder so far I find that my muzzleloader likes 80grns with a 240grn xtp shooting nice groups at 100yrds, anyways I was wondering what does 2-50grn 777 pellets equal to in powder volume or what ever the mathematics of it is? I hope everone understands what I am asking.

whether triple se7en pellets or pyrodex pellets, they are made to produce approximately the same power in pellets... You can obtain the same power with triple se7en shooting about 85 grains of the loose, although your rifle will tell you the best about all of that...

So if I am shoot 2-50grn 777 pellets its the same as shooting 85grns of 777 powder or 100grns of 777 powder.

right two pellets should be about equal as 85 grains of Triple Se7en loose, or 100 grains of Pyrodex RS loose.

Thanks cayugad, I was considering trying some. I know the saying if it ain't broke don't fix it but I want to expirement just to see the any performence difference. What do you find you muzzleloaders like more?

I shoot a lot of Goex 3f in my rifles and Triple Se7en 3f when shooting large conicals. In my large bore rifles I like Goex 2f. I shoot about anything I can get my hands on, but when I hunt its usually Goex 3f.
