Sighting in new muzzleloader
 

my dad got me a TC Triumph for christmas this year and i wasn't sure what yardage i should have it shooting dead on at. im shooting 250 grain shockwave bullets. any help would be much appreciated

Sight in for your circumstances. But as an example, I run 130gr pyrodex RS and go 3" high at 100; translates to about 5" low or so at 200. Gets the job done near and far just fine for me.

X2 on that advice.

100 yards......... With my Triumph... 110gr 777 250gr bonded sw

I don not shoot pointy bullets very often, but here is a ballistic table shooting a 250 SST with 100 grains of loose T7.

It is based on a 3" 'Point Blank Range' - so it at 100 yards it is about 2.5" high.



Remember this is just a mathematical estimate until you shoot it you do not know for sure.

Depends on how far out you plan on shooting. I usually either sight in to be dead on at 100 yards, or if I might have the chance for a long range shot, 2" high at 100. Sighting in 3" high at 100 yards is fine, you just need to remember you are hitting high and not aim high. I was a shotgun slug hunter for years, and with slugs my instincts tell me to aim high for a 100 yard shot. But that's just me...

im using 200gr shockwave and 110grains of bh209....2.75 inches high at 50, 4 high at 100 and deadon at 200

2" High at 50yds will do the job in most cases. If you shoot from 0-175 yds all you have to do is hold dead center lungs and you'll be in the kill zone.

My load in my Triumph for 250 gr Shock Waves is 120 gr of Blackhorn
2100FPS avg.
0 at 165yds
3 inches high at 100 yds
4 inches low at 200 yds
PBR of 3 inches is 0 to 185yds.

i'm shooting 250 grain shockwave and 150 grains of white hot powder. so i should sight in at about 2 inches high at 50 yards?
