Powder Pellets
I was at the range on Sunday. I was shooting 3 pellets of 777 on a 250gr sabot Bullet. I was easily 5-6" on the paper. I changed to 2 pellets and the group size dropped to about 3/4". I was so extremely accurate.

RE: Powder Pellets
I have not heard of too many guns that will shoot well with a full 150 grn charge, unless it's behind a heavy bullet. Just because the gun will handle it doesn't mean you should do it, or that is what it will like best. I have seen some magnum rifles that shoot thier best groups with 85 grns of powder.
This why so many like loose powder more, you can work up a better load if you want to take the time to do it.
What kind of distances are we talking about for these groups?

RE: Powder Pellets
WOW.. what a difference.. Good shooting there. And to think you do not have to spend all that money on the extra pellet. 2 pellets is plenty for most the stuff we want to hunt. Keep shooting...
