That will work. How does it shoot?
I don't know yet. Just got it and am excited to try it out.

I do not use pellets or do I plan on using them, but what are "triple seven magnums" ?
and what would the benefits be with them. We all know most charges over 100 Gr's the powder is not all burned.
They say that they burn much hotter and cleaner. That would be the biggest benifits. You don't lose as much accuracy between cleanings and they don't need as much charge to get the same fps. They say on the box, "2,000+fps". That is for 50 caliber in line, 209 primers. They also have no rotten egg smell. The guy that I talked to was near 50 years old and said that all he shoots is muzzle loaders. He is the one that told me about this charge and said that it is the best. He also argued the fact about loose powder burning hotter or more consistant than the pellets. He argued that pelets have more consistancy with being pre formed. He has measured 100 grains and then weighed it. He had a much bigger non consistancy in the weight with measured loose powder than the pellets that are pre formed. They all weigh much closer to each other. His words, "that makes for better accuracy".

They said that I could shoot three pellets but didn't need to. :lol:
Now if this is not an understament then what is? I could of had a V8 but went with a diesel engine instead.
The thought is that "yeah you could use 3 pellets but you arent going to gain enough energy to make much difference and am going to be throwing unneeded money out the barrel." These are supposed to be Hotter than anything previously and you don't NEED three.
Lets use your analogy. First I need to know if when speaking of V8 are you meaning the traditional kind of just vegtables or the new kind that has some fruit mixed in.
My dodge pickem up truck has an edge juice with an attitude chip. I have never wanted for more power. I pull horses, boats, bobcat skidloaders or what ever. I don't need ANY more power. I unhooked my chip a few days ago and tried it with out. I am very impressed with the power of my truck when it is stock. I for the most part don't need any more power. Now on occassion, (pulling the top of parley's and loaded) it might help to have a "bit" more but for the 99.9% of the time it's not needed. Bottom line, both might be throwing money away that is not needed. Now go drink a V8. It's good for you.
Don't get me wrong. I am not arguing any points here. I am simply stating what I have heard and what makes sense to me. I am listening to your oppinions.
