IMO...save yourself some money and buy the 777 in loose powder form. You can buy yourself a couple of speed loaders that will save you enough time in case you do have to reload to take another shot. I hear really good things about Black Magic powder as well. Supposedly cleaner than 777 and even hotter. 80 grains is supposed to be about tops in most guns. 100 grains was making bad things happen to guns supposedly. I'll be trying some next year after I shoot the rest of the 777 canister I have. Another benefit is that you can critique your loads alot better with the loose stuff vs. the pellets. Pellets have a margin of +/- 5-10 grains per 50gr pellet. So if your shooting 2 of them you could be shooting 120gr one shot and 80 the next. Good luck with whatever you use!
