Pellets are not a thrifty way to go!
Not sure what loose is there, but the price of the pellets on sale converts to $52.50/lb.
24 pellets @ 50 grains ea. = 1200 grains
1200 grains @ $9. = .0075/grain
7000 grains in a pound = $52.50/pound
And I believe T-7 pellets are even lighter than 50 grains. Aren't they like 37.5 grains (50 grain equiv.)? That would mean they are even more expensive!
