[bigtim6656]

Hey guys i think i am going to go with a Tc triumph
so now i need to know what is a few good bullets to start out with
i would like to find one to stick with but i figure i will need to try a few to get the best round for the gun

My Triumph has a bit tighter bore than normal it likes Crush Ribs, many due better with the MMP-HPH-24.
I get the tightest groups with 50/40 SW and the same blue sabot with 200gr 40 cal XTP, the 250 gr Gold Dot will usually group in a minute of angle too. A lot of loads will shoot inside of two inches most with 90 to 110 gr of 777 but some guns will shoot better with Pyrodex, it always comes down to finding out what loads work with the harmonics of a particular barrel.

Don't forget about the Barnes bullets

Shoot what TC recommends, which I believe is a TC SW, with 150g of 777 pellets. Get it shooting with that then go to something different like:

Barnes (MZ, TMZ, Origonal, Flat Base or PBX)
Nosler Partition (either .452 pistol bullet, call the Partition HG or the rifle bullet, .458)
you already have Speer Gold Dot.

Use 100g of loose 777 with Winchester Primer and Crushed Rib sabot, you may need 110 or 120 since most of the Omegas like those hot loads for accuracy. Chap

bigtim6656, There is a big differance between what your gun is strong enough to shoot and what shoots most accurate, most of the time. How hard you can hit something does not make any differance unless you can hit it.
My Triumph shoots very accurate with certain loads none of which are more than 120 gr of 777-fff. Lee
