Sled that's what I'm going to do now that I have done research. Thanks for the helpful input
. The 290 gr Barnes ez, and the 300 Lehighs shoot almost identical for that powder charge BTW.

Double check my math, but this should be pretty close or possibly help you out some.

You are getting weights from 77 to 84 grains with a 100 grains by volume. Let’s average that out to 80.5 grains of volume per 100 grains in weight (77 + 84 = 161) (161/2=80.5).

80.5 / 100 = .805 grains of volume to 1 grain of weight.

100/.805 = 124.23 (rounding) grains of weight to equal 100 grains in volume (double check 124.23 * .805 = 100.005)

Definitely double check this, I did the math in 30 seconds in my head.

I personally have not had any consistently shooting pellets out of my CVA. I use Triple 7 powder at 90 grains volume with 245gr powerbelt and I am having a lot more consistency.

Good luck and keep us posted on how/what your results end up!

I found this conversion chart:

There you go! A little algebra from there and you will have a pretty close weight to volume idea.
