Knight DISC .50 caliber (stainless steal) gun.Leupold Rifleman 3-9x40mm scope.110 grains of 777 pellets (1-50 & 2-30's). 240 grain T/C XTP's. Good for 200 yards?
You have the rifle and optics to get the job done, I am just not sure of the projectile. The XTP's do well for me out to 100 yards. After that they start to open up. I think you would have better luck with a Barnes 250 grain Expander or a 200 & 250 grain T/C Shockwave.

I guess a trip to the range would be the judge of all that. If you can CONSISTANTLY group them at the range you want to shoot, then I think the bullet design would be lethal..
