Triumph loads
 
Have a TC Triumph shooting a great group at 100yds, am using 2 777 pellets 250 gr. shockwave with yellow tip and black sabot, winchester 777 primers. Have shot 2 deer this week that have only run about 40yds. but not much of a blood trail. Any suggestions?

Keep killing deer. Problem solved :D

Where did you hit them, was the shot slightly high? If so the body cavity has to fill up with blood before it will reach the ground.

I use 110gr. 777 3F powder with a 200gr. Shockwave in a Harvester Crush Rib sabot in my Triumph. So far I have been very pleased with this combination, shoots very tight groups and performs well on deer. I tried the standard sabots that come with the 200gr. Shockwaves, but they loaded to hard for my taste. Swithed to the CR and they load so much easier now.

I have a Triumph too. I use the same load with the Barnes TEZ bullet. It does a perfect petaled out mushroom every time. It leaves a blood trail a blind man could follow. I used to use other bullets, but most lacked a great blood trail. With all that smoke I like a great blood trail. The Harveter Crushed Rib Sabot works good with these bullets too.
