Chap, While I very much appreciate all the hard work on that ballistic table I think I may have confused the bullet I was looking for a bit. I should have started another thread I guess, I apologize........you gave me the ballistics ofthe 300gr "Sabertooth" from my open sighted flintlock with 100grs of T7 (I actually use regular Goex black FFg)
But anyway I sight in dead on at 50 yards with that gun and will probably never have any desire to shoot it over 75 yards in my life.
The bullet I was hoping to hear about was the one I was messing with yesterday9When I should have been shooting the Harvester I guess)
........300gr T/C Shockwave from my CVA Magbolt 150.
I am shooting 120grs of T7, with a 1/2" high POI at 100 yards. At 50 yards it was just about 1" high.
This is the one I would like to know the ballistics for because it's coming from a scoped inline and I MIGHT see a long shot at some point.
I settled on a 1/2" high at 100 yards because I figured it will give me a little more leeway on a dead on hold to maybe 150 yards but still be basically point on all the way back to me.
Sorry for the confusion and thanks again for the info you provided.
The TC SW is the same bullet as the Hornady SST, in 300g the BC is .251, see here:
http://www.hornady.com/media/2008_catalog/45-48_ammo_muzzleloading_accessories.pdf
using .251 BC, 300g SW, MV=1800, 1/2" high at 100 yards I am going to say the dead on is 125 (I was wrong, 1/2 high at 100 is dead on at 110, so sigh in 110 yards)dropping those into here:

gives this:
So from 0 to 125 your shooting thru a 1" tube, at 150 you would be about 4" low. I would sight the
gun in 3" high at 100, this is called the "3 over method" and basically your shooting thru a
6" tube from 0 to about 175 yards with that load.
