noelf2 is spot on in his answer.

I know your question is about pellets only but if you go to loose 777 powder you want to reduce your charge by 15% of most other loose powders. Triple Seven loose powder is a bit hotter then other loose powders.

In other words if you want to shoot 100grn. equivalent of loose powder you only use 85grns of loose 777.

You don't have to worry about that with the 777 pellets as the reduction has been made for you in the pellets themselves.
