[QUOTE="TRR, post: 1028632, member: 86604"] Hi guys, I'm from Illinois. Going elk hunting next yr in Colo, I hope! I always use 777 pellets in Illinois. Colo law is LOOSE only. So I started yesterday trying to work up some loads. I've been a muzzloader shooter since the 80's. Back then we measured grs of Blackpowder in a powder measure, and dumped it into the barrel. Well I was going to start at 90grs for starters to get a group. When I measured 90grs in my OLD blackpowder measure, I got 28grs approx on my Digital scale. My digital scale is Grams/Grains. It is on GRAINS. So I measured a 777 pellet. It weighs 30.5 grs on my digital scale. So 2 pellets weigh 61 grs. The pellets are supposed to be (1) pellet 50grs, (2) pellets 100grs, (3) pellets 150grs. Digital scale for (3) pellets is 91.5 grs. 777 says on the box 50gr.vol equivalent. Question is How do I measure 100grs and 150grs loose to practice with. Or, if I have found 130grs shoots superior, how do I measure it? Thanks for your help! Feel really DUMB here! TRR [/QUOTE]
