Actually you have to research the whole thing to get any sense out of it and getting data for the same bullet is difficult across the powders... such as a 240 XTP for example with Pyrodex/777 and pellets. Not always is 3F more powerful than 2F, as you suggest. The 400 grain TC 400 grain bone crusher with 100 grains of 2F is higher velocity than 3F. There were many other examples as well.
As I read this, 777 is more energy than Pyrodex P or RS. What surprised me is on their loading data page for pellets, they make the confusing statement that "Pyrodex and Triple Seven Pellets were developed to give the same pressure and velocity with the volume equivalent measure.
Therefore, they use the same data. Our standard data was developed using 24" barrels ..... "
But on the other hand, if you worked up loads to 100 grains with 777 2F, lets say for a 240 Hornady XTP, you can't find the data with pellets. And this is rampant. So lets take the 240 hornady and with 777 3F = 1927 fps. Well and Good! Pyrodex P is 1775 fps as expected. 100 grains of volume of Pellet, though is none existent. So next maybe best is the 240 Precision Extreme or the 245 BAR Spit Fire at 1703 and 1785 respectively. The BAR is one of those where you can't find the data amongst the 3 powders available... Pyrodex, 777, and pellets.... and
neither is the Dead Center 175 grain bullet.
The end result is that it is difficult to determine from these tables what is what and as usual, it is probably best to work up your own loads and it certainly looks like granular is superior to the pellets, which in my opinion is somewhat of a gimmick and a poor performing one at that.
