I have to agree with Chap. I prefer loose to pellets. I use the loose in the Pyrodex RS and P. And with my powder measure, I can adjust my charge in 10 gr increments to find my optimum load. Some measures have finer graduations. You can't do that too well with pellets. Last I seen they come in 50 and 30 gr sizes - at least the 50 cal ones.
