[QUOTE="ATH, post: 863354, member: 1656"] 100 grains volume is very different from 100 grains weight. You can't interchange the two. The pellets are calibrated to be equivalent to the grains by volume. A load of two 50-grain pellets should give you similar velocity as a loose load of 100 grains. If you want to go by weight, volume measure your load then put it on the scale and see what it weights. It's been years since I did that but from memory, if you volume measure a max 150 grain load you will find it weight a lot less than that....weigh 150 grains on a scale and you will over-charge your gun.
