Triple Seven Magnums?
Anybody know anything about the new 'Triple Seven Magnums'? I saw an add in a magazine and checked it out on the website, but aside from some limited ballistic data, there is little info. They have the picture on the website intentionally fuzzy it appears. It looks to me like they are probably just 60gr pellets. I haven't seen any in the stores as of yet.

They are 60 grain equivelent pellets. I think i have seen them in a couple of stores but I do not shoot pellets so I have not paid particular attention.

Off the web site:
TRIPLE SEVEN MAGNUMS give you the capibility to make a longer shot and deliver more energy to the target. If you've shot Triple Se7en products before, you can expect the same easy clean up with no rotten egg smell. Using two Magnums you can achieve an additional 200-250 feet per second (fps). This normally results in muzzle velocities of approximately 2,000 fps.
While we are confident there are other muzzle loading rifles and saboted bullets that will acheive the 2,000 fps velocity, the ones listed below were tested by Hodgdon or the manufacturers and met or exceeded 2,000 fps with 2 (two) Triple Se7en Magnums.

RE: Triple Seven Magnums?
My understanding was.. many people that shoot pellets found their rifles likes two pellets of the old Triple Se7en but not three. They wanted just that little bit more punch. Also you will note many loose powder shooters often like charges of 110-120 grains in their magnum rifles.. Well the new magnum pellets are the answer. It gives them just that little more punch they wanted, and is about like shooting 120 grains of loose powder.
Before, some people were moving to the 30 grain pellets and shooting four of them with good results. Others were doing two 50's and one 30. So to end all the need for the different sizes, this was a solution. I have never shot them. I have shot the old 50 grain Triple Se7en pellets and had good results, but normally I shoot loose... Unless I find them on sale I will probably never shoot the pellets again. They have increased in price around here to $30.00 a box, and that's just not cost effective for the way I shoot.
