Anyone that shoots with the Nikon Omega BDC scope please tell me any info you have on what you shoot powder/bullet, and the accurate yardage your getting for the reticles.
Like I said this is my first muzzleloader, and I'm just trying to learn as much as I can without buying every bullet/powder on the market. Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it!
I shoot a TC Encore and Knight Revolution and not the Triumph, but I am shooting Hornady SST 250 sabotted bullets with two, 50 gr pellets of Pyrodex in both. I run a wet patch and then a dry patch after every shot. From what I have read here, the TC Shockwaves are Hornady SST bullets as well. I am getting shots that touch or almost touch with this combination in both.
I do have a problem with the Knight that a cold barrel is throwing the first shot about 2" high and 2" right. I am adjusting the scope for the first shot as this is a hunting gun and not a target gun.
