Shot My T/C Triumph
Well I got my Triumph back from the gunsmith had the scope mounted and bore sighted, and the cut stock.
Had sometime today to goto the range and to sight her in. I'm using 2 pellets of Triple 7 magnums, Barnes Spit-Fire T-EZ 250gr., blue sabot, Federal primers, and a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40.
Here is my target the top 3 shots you see was at 50 yards, as you can see 2 are touching, the 3rd one was also at 50 yards, the one below them all was at 100 yards, I like to be 2.5"/3" above the bull at 50 yards.
So what do you guys think? Most of my shots are within 50 yards and a slight maybe at 75 yards. I know I'm within the kill zone

I think you found a nice load for that gun. Nice Shooting!
With that load the gun will be in the kill zone farther out then you will need at the ranges you specified. Let us know how it preforms on game. I also have the Triumph and would like to try the Barnes T-EZ. Currently I am sooting the 250 SW everything else the same. Results look the same on paper. These guns are shooters.

Nice shooting !!! I would think with that load you could sight in dead on at 50 and only be about a inch low at 100yds if that. Im only shooting 90grBH209 with a 250g TEZ with a HSB and im a inch high at 50 and dead on at a 100yds with the triumph.
