[QUOTE="Hntbambi, post: 414160, member: 12797"] I am a long range muzzle loader hunter. I have a .50 cal TC Omega with laminated wood stock that shoots very nicely at long range. I have only shot BH209 through this gun. [IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z230/hntbambi/omegakahles.jpg?t=1281320338[/IMG] This is my elk load: 85.2 gr[B] by weight[/B] of BH209 300 gr Bonded Shock Wave in a Harvester sabot or a 290 gr Barnes TMZ Winchester 209 primer I have a Kahles scope with ballistic reticle and it lines up almost perfect out to 300 yards. The lines are 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 yards. [IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z230/hntbambi/Kahles3-30x50.jpg?t=1281315383[/IMG] This is a 200 yards group: [IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z230/hntbambi/Omega_300_bonded_sst.jpg?t=1281315449[/IMG] At 300 yards, the group opens up to 4" but I will take that. The POI is about 3" below the POA but it's well within minute of elk. I will be carrying this combo for my mule deer hunt in October except the bullet will be a non-bonded SST. Deer are not hard to kill and I don't need 2+ feet of penetration. The 85.2 gr of BH209 is equivalent to 120 gr by volume. I weigh all of my charges now and the flyers have gone. [/QUOTE]
