[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4801515, member: 15365"] Replied Something that has not been mentioned. Loose powder is cheaper even BH209 when you adjust for velocity. 80-85gr of BH209 will produce similar speed as 2 pellets. Even a little better when we start talking about 300gr bullets. You get 73 shots at 85gr by volume or 59gr by weight from a 10oz bottle. 10 oz = 4375 gr WEIGHT You get 50 shots from a box of T7 original pellets and even less from the Firestars since it takes 3 to make a 100gr load. So even at full BassPro rip off price the cost per shot really is not that bad compared to pellets. No swabbing, no water based cleaners, no crud ring and you can fine tune a load easily. $50 divided by 73 is 68 cents per shot at the rip off price and it can be found cheaper. Walmart is around $37 per bottle. Why anyone would choose to shoot pellets is a mystery to me. [/QUOTE]
