Default 777 pellet observation

Just got back from the range shooting 777 FFG and 777 50 grain pellets. I was pushing a Buffalo 375 grain sabot in a MMP 3-petal. I thought I wanted to try the pellets for ease of hunting. I tried shooting two 50 grain pellets to get my "100" grain equivelent. The "100" grain equivelent brought the bullet in 4" low at 100 yds from my previous sight in using 90 grains of 777 FFG. Just to check to make sure I was seeing this I loaded up the 90 grain load and shot dead on. The ignition of the pellets seemed to vary from shot to shot. I have a half box of the pellets that may never see the gun as I believe powder 777 is the only way to go. Just my two cents on how the "100 grain equivelent" does not come close to matching the 90 grain load.
