I'd like to reach 150 to 200 yd shots accurately and killing power for deer with my omega but I am not a big fan of huge recoil, what pwder and charges would you recomend for me. Thankyou!
You need a lightweighthigh Ballistic coefficiency bullet with the more powerful777 powder. Practice with around 100-110 grains using any of these three bullets below in 195 or 200 grain. I think all three can be purchased at Cabelas. Your sweet spot may come with as little as 95 grains... that's what I used. The downfall to these light bullet and powder charges at 200 yards is the rainbow trajectory -- plus unsteady, turbulent weather. You need a regular,calm atmosphere for pleasant results.
