I took a buck at 140 yards with 90gr BH209 and 260gr Harvester Scorpion and there was very little drop from the 100-yard zero. Granted, 140 isn't 200, and I think 90 BH209 is a little faster than 2 Pyrodex pellets, but I'm sure the BDC will be on target for you.
The BDC was made for 150 gr of Pyrodex. I just scoped it this summer and don't have anywhere to shoot past 100 yards. From my understanding, the bullet will drop 4" to 5" from 100 to 150 yards and my gun is set about 1" high at 100 so I would take a shot out to 150. Between now and next season I want to find somewhere I can shoot to 200 and see where it and I hit. The gun is likely a better shooter than me.
