Ballistic Question
I am shooting an Omega, with the Nikon scope and I am zeroed at 100 yards using 3 50grn 777 pellets. If I was to drop down to 2 pellets, how would that affect my 100 yard zero?

Make sure which T7 pellets you are shooting, there are the normal 50 grain pellets and the new 60 grain pellets...
This page will show the differences...

You bet it should! You would be changing from 150 grains of powder to 100 grains. So the velocity would be reduced and the arc of the bullet would be more dramatic.

Here is a balastic chart that gives pretty close to what you are asking. Of course it is with powerbelts, but compares the trajectory of different size bullets with 100 and 150 gr of 777 pellets.

That said, I have a gun that I shot at 100 yards with 100 gr and then right after shot with 95 gr of powder. The 95 gr load consistently hit HIGHER at 100 yards than the 100 gr load. So while you can look at charts for a general idea, you will have to shoot your specific gun to get the actual results.
