Thompson Center Triumph .50 caliber with a Nikon Omega BDC scope. Quality steel bases and mounts. Some 250 grain Shockwaves, some Triple Se7en 2f powder, Remington Kleenbore primers, short starter, dog bone capper, cleaning patches, cleaning jags, loading jags, gun oil, Windex, cleaning solvent...
+1 except for the powder, I found Blackhorn to be much better in the fact that my group sizes were cut by 1/2 and it is non corrosive, I clean at the end of the seasons, and there is no need to carry clean or wiping stuff in the field there is not only the ability to reload with out swabbing but the fact that it groups better if you don't.Lee
+1 for what Lee said about Blackhorn. Forget the Kleenbore primers with BH, shoot Win 209 or Federal 209a. Ya need Hoppe's or Birchwood Casey to clean up BH. I would shoot a Barnes Origonal 300g with 120g of BH using a Crushed rib sabot and you can shoot 200 yards no problem. Ballistic Coefficient of BO is .291, the SW 300g is .250 I believe, if memory serves me right.2.5" high sight in at 100 yards get you to just short of 200 MPBR.The ballistic chart belowis for 2100 fps, .291 BC, 300g bullet
