I also use both Pyro Powder and Pellets. In one of My Accura's it's set up for using 2 50gr Pellets, it shoots nice tight groups, no complaints. I buy the Pellets at the end of the Season when there marked down, I save a-lot.
My other 2 Accura's are set up for Pyro Powder, again no complaints, so I have to clean all 3 of My MLer's a little longer, I dont mind it gives me something to do at night after the Hunt while the Wife's at work.
So the cost between the Powder and the Pellets is'nt that far off to notice, Im Pleased with both Powder and Pellets.

Pellets are a good way for people with no blackpowder experience to get into the sport. That's how I started- I had no one to teach me, and I was a little intimidated by the whole powder measuring thing, and had no info on the subject. So I used pellets my first year hunting, and they worked.
I soon found out, however, that they were expensive, and I wasn't getting good accuracy with them and couldn't fine-tune my load. So I switched to loose T7. Now I just pre-measure a bunch of Lane's Tubes before I go to the range, or go hunting, and it is almost as easy and convenient as using pellets, with much lower cost and much greater accuracy.
