When pellets first came out I set up my hunting gear with them as I felt this was a logical choice. I usually do a dry run with anything new and kept running into too many issued using them. On top of that, they were more expensive. While trying to work through these issues, a little voice kept reminding me that loose powder did not present these problems. I still feel there is an advantage during hunting. ....
Have to admit that I may have given up on them, too easily. To date, I have given more away to folks who like them. At any rate, I don't miss them and my shot-strings with loose are working out just fine. ..
Be Safe !!!
