The 2 pellet loads were just suggestion loads to get you going. I am not a pellet as I prefer to be able to fine tune my loads and pellets dont allow that.

I highly suggest you order a bag before attempting to shoot the strikerfire. The headspace is pretty loose and the primer, under firing conditions over time can cause damage to the frame. Drop this lil guy into the primer pocket and it damn near lasts 70 shots in our striker fire being needing replaced.

It clearly states on page 49

Pellets are sometimes offered in different charge sizes so be sure to use the appropriate number of pellets to obtain your desired charge. Consult the pellet manufacturer’s recommendations if you have any doubts about how many pellets to use


Well IMR/Hodgdon only recommends and lists load data for 2 pellets. Feel free to call them, i have.

The manual also says

WARNING: NEVER EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM
BLACK POWDER OR BLACK POWDER SUBSTITUTE CHARGE
LISTED IN THIS BOOK OR BY THE POWDER MANUFACTURER.


Well, i must be missing the 150gr loads listed on page 51-52 in this manual or listed by Hodgdon for loose powder too.
