Thanks for all the advice. I plan on getting down to Cabela's this week to shoulder the guns. That being said, I am leaning towards the Triumph. Seems like a great gun and have not heard anything bad about it. Also, being purchased from Cabela's always give me a little confidence as I have only had great luck with their customer service.
I only evershot powerbelts out of my old CVA Kodiak with great results. As some of you may recall, I did shoot through a tree and the bullet held together and still killed the deer. That being said, I am not so loyal asI will not switch to the best shooting round out of the gun. I have always started with manufacturers recommedations and made modifications from there to maximizethe load.I will willstart off Shockwaves and go from there. Guess I get to go to the range and shoot for a while.
Thanks again for all the advice.
Triumph from Cabelas is a great choice and it is wise to follow the manufacturer recommendations on load, which will be the SW. They are accurate as heck, of the 250g and the 300g SW, over on the Savage forum TheLeftHand has shot them into ballistic gel, I have placed them onto PDF so you don't have to have a user account or they will never be archived, here are the results:

just click on the 300g SW and the 250g SW link, that should help you make up your mind what your goona buy to shoot in the gun, I would buy both since in that way you don't have to make another trip to the store and you have them. In general the performance of the 300g is better, if your going to go the BDC scope and shoot the 250 then buy the bonded, their are higher cost, but stay together better. Hope that helps you make an informed decision. Best wishes for this season and watch shooting thru those trees, :->.
