Most of the fellows I know that shoot the new inlines get the best accuracy using loose powder and around 90-100g charges. The pellets are just a way of sucking more money out of you. Get some speed loaders and pre load them at home, it is as fast as any pellet loading can be. Just my not so humble opinion.
Same here, I plink with 90gr FFF with saboted round ball, and hunt with 110/120gr 300gr partition, loose powder is the way to go 
, lot easier to play and find the perfect load/bullet. Although your rifle will handle 3 pellets, 150gr powder is a stout load, for me anyways 
and accuracy suffers.

150 gr is overkill. 100 gr is enough to do anything you need. I always think of the black powder cartridge rifles and the loadings they used, like 50-70, 50-90 and 50-120. The second number refers to the powder charge used.
I second the notion of using loose powders...

150 gr. 777
I had aload worked up for me by a gunsmith when he installed a scope on my E-Bolt. 90 grains of 777 loose powder with a 300 grain bullet. I use Nosler partitions which come packaged with the orange sabots. My last three deer have not travelled a foot after impact! Forget about 150 grains,all that means is more unburned powder in your barrel, especially if you're using pellets.
