paul23 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: 777 yea the reason I asked is because I was shooting at the range and tried 3 pellets and was getting a nice group. Then I came home and talked to my dad and he said he didn't think you could shoot that 3 because it was too much powder. He didn't know they were already the equivilent to pyrodex and I wasn't positive it was. It groups about 6 inches high with the 3rd pellet.

too_pointer Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Re: 777 I have posted in here several times that 3 777 pellets are equal to 3 pyrodex pellets. I have this direct from the people who make both. I have e-mailed the company and they state that they have made the pellets to be the same exact charge as the pyro pellets. The lose 777 is still the same, roughly 20% higher than lose pryrodex. I believe I saved the company's e-mail if you would like to see it, just p.m. me. If the gun companies state that the gun will accept 150 grns. of powder, than you are safe with 777 or pryrodex pellets. I have an Encore also, and you are good to go with 3 50 grn. pellets of either one !! too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
