100 grains of T7 pellets is about the same as 100 grains of loose BP or Pyro.
3 regular T7 pellets are equal to about 150 grains of loose BP or Pyro.
T7 loose on the other hand is about 15% more powder than a like amount of loose BP or Pyro.

I believe this to be incorrect. Regular T7 pellets are loaded down to be simular to real BP or the Pryro's loose powders.

Call me a dummy then because pellets are for me. Check out the target below and notice the two groups of 3 shots with the dots over them. The first two shots in the upper right along with one shot from the lower left group were from on trip to the range. The 3rd shot in the upper right and the other 2 shots in the lower left group were from a separate trip to the range. The uncovered shots were from a 3rd trip to the range where I moved the scope. I adjusted for the first shot on a cold, clean barrel. I do clean between shots btw.
My gun throws the first 1 or 2 shots on a cold clean barrel high and right. The rest are lower and to the left. So you can see, it will put bullets touching even in separate trips to the range. This is with two 50 gr Pyrodex pellets. With accuracy like that you can call me a dummy all day and I won't mind.

I think its different strokes for different folks....
I see the benefit of the pellets, makes it nice and simple to reload and easy to unload.I wonder some day if BH209 will come in pellet form ?

This was from my Knight Revolution. Now if only I could get my Encore dialed in like that. It may prefer a different bullet and sabot combo though. I am using Hornady SST 250 gr bullets and the red sabots that come with them. The Encore has a tighter barrel and maybe I should be using a different sabot. It shoots well enough for hunting, but doesn't group like my Knight does.
