So i have heard that powder is more accurate then pellets. Is this true?

From what I have read, it just gives you more variability with your loads, so if you have a gun that needs a little tweaking it can help. I am going to try it when I actually get some time. There is also someone out there that makes a primer conversion kit for the gun as well. I will get that info on here if I find it.

I have been using triple 7 pellets for years now, they work great in my TC Omega 50 cal. i shoot 3 pellets with a 200 grain bullet. and can shoot 1 1/2" groups or less at 200 yards. but if you need to play with a load to get your gun to group good, powder may be the way to go.

Do you use 3 50 grain pellets, or how many grains do you shoot?
