from a post i found at my place when i originally shot them.

Took the Optima out to 100 yards today with T7 pellets as well as Pyrodex Pellets. The Pyrodex pellets shot best with 100gr and the 300gr Sabertooth. 2 1/2". Not the greatest accuracy but good for pellets.

Switched over to using 150gr T7 pellets " 100gr didnt shoot for crap" and got a good 2 1/2" group.

I was able to recover one bullet from the Pyrodex Pellet charge and it was 254gr but hit a sand stone rock which knocked a chunk of bullet off. Had that not happened, im thinking it would have been a full 300gr.

Now i recovered 2 bullets from the 150gr T7 charges and one weighs 284 grains and the other, 290 grains. That should be perfect for an elk with 100gr BH209.
