Omega Trajectory
 

Anyone shooting the TC Shockwave 250 gr. at 200-250 yards with 130-150 gr powder? If so, how high are you at 100 yards??

RE: Omega Trajectory
 

What powder?????????
Loose or pellets??????

RE: Omega Trajectory
 

StandarsPyrodex Pellets 2/50gr and 1/30 gr = 130 gr. total

Hogwild61, I use 130gr of App-FF which is a bit more potent than Pyrodex
it chrony at an average of 2006 fps in my OMEGA.
yards- 50 -+1.5" ___75-+2"___100-+1.5"___125-"0" 150___-2" 175___-5"
I was not sure exactly what you were asking for hope this helps. Lee

I believe you are asking "IS anyone zeroed dead-on at 200 (or 250) yards with the 250-gr Shockwave and 130-150 grains of Pyrodex pellets?? If so, what is your midrange (100 yard) point of impact??"

Some might indeed zero that far away, but I don't.....IMO, ML don't shoot flat enough to use such a long-range zero.

The Nikon Omega scope provides for a shot out to 250 yds. I want to know if anyone is shooting in the "Kill Zone" on a WTD at 200-250 yds without the Nikon Omega. If so, whats happening at 100 with the load info I providedabove.

My $114.41 Sightron SI 3-9X40 is clear & dependable to 250 yards too. Want to upgrade?... get the Best Buy Sightron SII for $187.

What is your point of impact at 100 yds?

RE: Omega Trajectory
 

That is not my present load. I'm into heavy bullets these-days. I test bullets and trajectories once in a while. If I remember correctly, I was around 5" high @100... around 12" low @200 with a Precisionsister-similar 180 gr. QT poly-tip using 95 gr 777 FFF. I don't seem to remember if I used an MMP plastic sub-base with it... also in the ML bullet webpage at Cabelas.com.

I've not seen or used the nikon omega scope personally but I would think if it has a bullet drop compensation setup, it should come with instructions on how to set it up. Most of those type systems zero at 100 yards and then you hold over using the range specific amount using the Hash marks or circles on the lower veritical crosshair. The actual range for each holdover point is going to be load specific so it is hard to answer the question without that info.

As I understand it the Nikon Omega scope was set up using a Thompson Encore for the data. They fired the weapon with three pellets of either Pyro or T7 (I would check to be sure before I used such a set up) and a Shockwave 250 Gr saboted bullet.

You are supposed to sight in to hit right on the crosshairs at 100 yards, then the small aperatures which are not adjustable are supposed to be on for the different yardages (150, 200, etc).

I suppose this is resonable if your gun shoots anything similar to the Encore as far as the muzzel velocity goes. Baring any outside influence of wind etc with specific bullet X (known coefficient) and velocity Y (known fps) you will always have a projectable trajectory.Small differences on either side shouldn't make a big variation but downrange, at 250 yards versus 100 yards,small variations could be huge I suppose.

If it were me using it I would try at least one group of shots at those other yardages to see where I was actually hittingversus where they thought it would hit. That would just be a confidence thing for me, I like to be able to have experience with actual results before I apply them.

If anyone is using this scope I would really like to know how it is performing as compared to what Nikon says it does.

RE: Omega Trajectory
 

I plan to shoot at 200 and 250 yds, I was simply curious as to what to expect i.e who has witnessed it.

RE: Omega Trajectory
 

TC Omega, 150 G Pyrodex powder, 250 Hornady SST, Leupold 3x9x40 scope.
3.5 hi at 100 Yds and 7.5 low at 200 Yds.
Range tested. 2 inch groups if I do My part !!!
