Default cva optima questions

I shoot powder pellets in my optima, and have been using 150gr of powder. I was wondering what everyone's most accurate combination of powder and bullet has been at 100+ yards. I am considering going back to 100gr of powder and i have tons of different bullets. thanks for any responses.

I think for accuracy, the 100 grains might serve you better.
