I have to admit I just plain like the JSG Sticks better than 777 pellets... I know that it's not as good on paper but for me thats were it ends. I have a comfort zone of 150 yards with my muzzleloaders and the Sticks perform great in my Pro-Hunter at that range... no critter can live on the difference. Not that this is scientific, but back this summer when it was hot as blue blazes the JSG Sticks were less affected than 777 pellets, 777 2f, and JSG 3f out od my Omega
