Default RE: powder charges and recoil

ORIGINAL: patchholder

Sorry for not being in more detail with what i have tried. I am shooting a .50 omega with a 3x9 scope 150grns of pyro pellets and t/c shockwaves 250grn. With 100 grns of powder I like but 150 is to much recoil. I have heard that for killing power for deer at 150 to 200yds you need maximum charge. I was wondering if i could achieve this without the nasty recoil.
Perhaps you didn't read my earlier post?

Let me also add that your present two pellt/250 gr Shockwave combo has enough energy to harvest deer at 250 yards.... if you can get your ML to shoot a 5" group at that distance. You already have enough power -- what you need to practice is the rainbow trajectory the bullet takes to get there.

Check this out below.

Then look at the energy numbers here to get some idea of what to expect.

None of those numbers are gospel. Every ML, every powder charge, every bullet, every climate and every shooter make for alot of variations.
