Default 200-yard Performance: Attainable?

I'm going to FINALLY shoot the Omega tomorrow. I don't expect to reach this distance right away, and certainly not anytime this week, but with 100 grains of Pyrodex Pellets and a 250-grain TC Shockwave Sabot, is 200 yards out of the question eventually? If so, what would 150 grains of Pyrodex do to flatten out the trajectory. I've always heard of 200-yard capabilites of modern muzzleloaders, is there any truth to it? If my setup will work, can I sight-in at 100 or should I go 150 or what? Should I go down to a 200-grain Shockwave? I'm only hunting whitetails. Thanks!
