I just picked up my T/C omega. 50 cal. I understand I need to work on a load to get a good group. My question is "If I get a good tight group at 100 yards with approx. 100 grains or 2 pellets and it stays tight at 200 yards is this enough energy with the 2 pellets or 100 grains to make a clean kill that far, or will I need to go with 3 pellets or 150 grains ?
A big, slow full-bore diameter conical from a ML will kill at ranges far in excess of 200 yards! Of course this is provided you know your trajectory and can place the bullet precisiely! Just read about what some of those snipers did in the Civil war with ML rifles!!!
