[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 506888, member: 280"] If your gun has a long enough barrel, you may be able to take advantage of all 150 grains. Diminishing returns usually sets in above 100 grains; the increase in powder fouling begins to outweigh the increase in velocity. Also, a lot of that powder leaves the barrel under-burned. Shoot it at dusk with 100 grains, then again with 150 and you should notice a lot more flames coming from the muzzle with the 150 grain. To be sure, use your gun, try different loads, and if you have a chrony to check the velocity, that's great. I shoot 110 gr loose 777 with a 300 grain Hornady XTP Mag. [/QUOTE]
