Default New TC Triumph

Well just "pulled the trigger" and put a Triumph inlay-away at the local gun shop. Should have it out this week. Ihave a Bushnell 2-7 x 36 that will go on it. Anyone have a good load that I may want to try with a 250 gr. Shockwave?

what kind of powder are you going to be shooting? That sounds like a sweet set up.

You will like your Triumph. Mine shoots good with everthing I've put through it. I settled on 300gn bullets and 110gnv Blackhorn 209. I like the .458 Remington HP, BCR sabots.... .458 Barnes Originals, BCR sabots.... .452 XTP, RCR sabots, all 300 gns. With 110 gnv BH they chrono about 1875fps. When I first got my Triumph I shot a couple 200yd groups right at 1 1/2" with the Remingtons and 110 gnv BH. Good luck and have fun.

You'll like that 2-7x 32 Bushnell also . My son has one on his Optima. It's as clear as it gets.

hanks for the info, the scope is a 2-7x 36 Bushnell, a Gander Mountain exclusive. This is the third one I have owned and love them all. Great scope for the money and flip up caps from Butler Creek are included.
