And one final little note: 100grains of powder does not mean ALL POWDER THAT IS OUT THERE! Some of the synthetic powders, like Tripple Seven and Black Mag'3 for instance make higher pressure with the same volume of load that black powder makes. Be very sure that the load you are using is recommended for your rifle.
Keith, 100 grains of 2f 777 is not prohibited. It is an allowed load. If you don't believe read a manual.
I understand what you are saying but the point I tried to make; apparently not too well, was many of the manuals say 100grains or 150grains of pellets is the max load. If you try to make that equal 100grains loose 3f or 150grains loose 3f things are not the same. That is why I said make sure the load you are using is recommended for your rifle. Especially the newer owners that have not had a lot of time with the sport might be confused.
