Pellets are by far more expensive than Lose Powder. Pellets were invented for the EASE of there use. People want the easy way so there you go, easy and you pay for it. But Pellets do have there place, if you dont do a-lot of shooting then they may be for you. I now shoot Lose Powder because of wanting a Custom Load that was the most accurate and I found it with 110gr's of Pyrodox, something I could'nt get with Pellets.
But I also have one of My MLer's set up with (2) 50Gr Pellets of Pyrodox=100gr's that shoot's great with this load. I dont shoot it that much but if I need to I can just put a couple of Pellets in it and shoot.
But if your gonna shoot a-lot and want the best possible most accurate load and the cheapest on your wallet then Lose Powder wins hands down.
