confused by 777

[piketon_hunter#9]

i just got my triumph for xmas and some 777 pellets with it, previously i had always used pyrodex where the pellets seemed longer.. when i went to sight my gun in i thought that it took two 777 pellets to make 50gr. so i ended up loading 300gr. of powder. my shoulder told me i was wrong, but do you think my gun is ok?


i felt so smart after i figured out my mistake lol

I could not say if the gun is all right. That is a lot of powder to put through a rifle. So you're saying you put through six pellets in there? Each pellet is 50 grains. If you have doubts, you should have the rifle checked by a gunsmith.

yea i did, i was just reading that someone else was confused by the size diff of the 777, i for some reason thought that every square in the box was 50 grains, not every pellet. completly ignorant of me i knw... i didnt notice anything abnormal when i cleaned it

Did you notice any flaming fire balls going down range or were you too busy looking at the clouds? I bet that really kicked!

Well you didn't put 2 bullets in it, which some have done (double loaded). You can send the gun back to TC for them to check out, you got lots of time before next huning season. Best to be safe, it is under warranty.

Yup I agree the school systems in America need a lot of help getting back to the basics.
