i called hogedon and they told me the point of diminishing return was well over 150gr of 777 they also told me to shoot what the gun manufacturer recommends and 777 is measured out the same as the pyrodex select i was use to shooting .my gun is rated for 150gr of powder . everyone keeps telling me that 100gr will shoot about the same as 150gr . since i dont have a chronograph would someone please go out and shoot a 240gr hornady xtp/sabot with 140gr of 777 and tell me just how fast it shoots.the can of 777 says it goes 1810 fps.im getting excellent groups with 140gr of powder. and i know it kicks pretty hard but i think the flatter trajectory is worth it .the 130gr load of powder shot about the same group , 150gr was about 4-5" group all over the place . so if anyone has any info let me know please.i would like to get to the bottom of this magical "100gr" powder charge and see who is telling me the truth about the velocity . thanks , tom
