Pellets are easy to store, carry and load, and the accuracy is normally good enough for hunting purposes. And that's where the $$$ is.

I have shot some great groups out of my Remington Model 700 MLS .50 with Pyrodex pellets. Such as a 0.625" 3-shot group at 100 yards with two 50-grain Pyrodex pellets and a 295-grain Powerbelt Aerotip.

But...they tend to be good for a year and then performance drops off, as they are moisture-suckers.
