Question about Tripel Seven powder
I just bought a new Omega, and it can hold a 150 gr. charge. Does this mean 150 gr. of T& also, I understand that it is more powerful or rated differently somehow than the others. Would 150 gr. be safe to shoot out of the rifle?
I have always shot a CVA Buckhorn and I have never wanted to test it as far as taking safely a magnum charge, so Im not real sure about what dto do - Im sure this is an easy one for you guys.
Thanks!!

My BD likes 110 grains of loose Triple Se7en 2f for some of the 250 grain loads. While your rifle can handle the big charges like 150 grains, but the accuracy might not be as good as with say.. 110-120 grains of loose powder.

777 pellets are designed to shoot at the same power of Pyrodex pellets, so yes you can use 150gr of 777 pellets. However, the loose 777 DOES shoot differently andI suggest a10% reduction. This means a 135gr max charge.
