I used (2) Pyrodex pellets and a 300 grain bonded T/C Shockwave to take a doe last ML season in IL using my Omega. I am guessing the MV was 1500-1600 fps give or take. It was a complete pass through from approx. 80 yards (stepped off) with a great blood trail. If anyone has not tried Shockwaves, I would strongly recommend them. They are quite accurate as well.
