to much pressure???
« on: September 09, 2009, 05:01:43 AM »
First off thanks to all of you for the previous help, and looking for a little more.

I'm using 120gr triple seven FFg and 348 gr powerbelts. Do I need to be worried about pressures? I know alot of people are using 150gr pellets and such.

i'd worry more about that bullet fragmenting more than anything else.  Drop it down to 80-90gr T7.  120gr T7 is equal to 150gr pellets.

I shoot 3 sometimes but here lately only 2 as it seems to work fine .
A good friend had a Knight and he/we were shooting 3 in it and kept getting blowback in the face more dust than particles . seems 777 is not recomended in most guns as a 3 pill load . loose powder to 150 is OK but pills may not be . I got that from the manf. of 777 when i called them .
My gun is the encore also ss wood stock , lupo. scope , and yea i stopped using 3 after the call .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

Nice! gotta love the sleepers. I'm just glad you didn't say a 67-69 camaro, or chevelle. I would have super jealous.
