Pellets are a good way for people with no blackpowder experience to get into the sport. That's how I started- I had no one to teach me, and I was a little intimidated by the whole powder measuring thing, and had no info on the subject. So I used pellets my first year hunting, and they worked.

I soon found out, however, that they were expensive, and I wasn't getting good accuracy with them and couldn't fine-tune my load. So I switched to loose T7. Now I just pre-measure a bunch of Lane's Tubes before I go to the range, or go hunting, and it is almost as easy and convenient as using pellets, with much lower cost and much greater accuracy.
