I sure am having a hard time believing that a 2 pellet load would have greater velocity than a 150 grain load of loose powder. In my shooting a 2 pellet load of 777 was the same as 85 grains of 777 2f or 100 grains of pyrodex RS.

Edit: I see this information you posted came from one of Randy Wakeman's articles. Best take it with a little salt.
