This week end, I went to the range to shoot up some 777 Pellets I had left, and had 6 100 grain loads, out of a fifty box , that barely got the bullet out of the barrel.(REALLY WEAK)
So I went and got some loose powder, in 777, and took it home to make some quick loaders up, and decided to weigh the 100 grain volume charge.
100 grains by volume weighed 83 1/2 grains on my weight scale, and the 2 pellets of 777 weighs 63 grains.
Now I understand that the pellets are packed tighter, so volume won't be the same, but shouldn't the weight of the pellets, at least be close to that of the loose powder?
Splane dis to me Lucy!
Since the pellets are about $4.00 higher, and seems to be less powder in them, are we being ripped off, or am I missing something?
