Question How many grains is there in a Magnum load 777 pellet?

hey,
I picked up some 777 magnum load pellet by accident and come to find out that there is no grain size on the package.
Its the red box....and I have emailed Hodgsons w/no result.
Anybody know what it is?
Thanks
GIBB
I usually use 3- 50/50 w/a 250 grain TC superglide sabot.

correct with the 60grains, and they should have it on it. I use them in my Triumph with barnes ez-spitfires, great results

Wouldn't that be 60 grains equivalent to something else?

Don't weight 'em, you'll get real confused.

I think the 2 60gr Magnum 777 Pellets are equivelant to 3 50gr Pyrodox Pellets.

Hold on...wouldn't 2 - 60g equal 120 grain....??
3 - 50 grain equals 150 grains right?
Can somebody clarify??
I usually use 3 50 grain pellets....so should I just be using 2 60 grains now??
Confused.
Thanks

My understanding of it is the 777 is more powerfull then the pyrodex. SO what there saying is 60 grains of 777 is about 85 grains of pyrodex. I am assuming these are volume measurements. As they would weight differnt because the mass is higher then the weight. From what i read and what everyone is saying use two mag. pellets of 777 in place of the 3 pellets of pyrodex. I am new to this so i may be wrong

T7 magnum pellets are 75 gr. 2 pellets will give you 150 gr.

Correct as compared to real BP or the Pyros....

And that equals about 120 grains of T7-2f loose powder, or 60 grains each of loose t7-2f...
