Default TC Firestorm accuracy

So I don't have to reinvent the wheel, can some of you tell me the most accurate load and projectile for my new Firdstorm? Realistically, what size groups should I be able to shoot at 100 yards from a bench? Also, I am considering installing a peep sight. Does anyone have thoughts on the advantages of that? My goal is to shoot tight groups at 100 yards. Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this is the best load or not....but I use 95 gr Goex 2F pushing a T/C Maxi-Hunter 350 w/ Goex 4F in the pan. I've had good luck with this load. I don't know if it is the best out there, but it works for me.

I can't give you accurate group sizes though...the gun still shoots better than I can

Doesn't the firestorm have a 1-48 twist? As to what is going to shoot well, I think you are in for some trial and error. Roundball might shoot well, shockwaves, powerbelts, who knows. All rifles are different. I would keep the powder charges around 100 grains and you should be somewhat in the ball park. As for open sights and group sizes, again this will relate to the projectile and how well it shoots. I would say you should be able to shoot a four inch maybe better with open sights, with a peep sight perhaps even better.

Also, welcome to the forum.
