drop at 200yds
 
Shooting a TC prohunter with 2 white hots and a 250gn shockwave. If dead on at 100 what kind of drop at 200. My crony said it's 1900fps.

150yd zero would be better for 200yds.

Forgive me but my understanding of B/P rifles is that the bullet would non-effective at 200 yds. I have been told that you could caught it in your hand at that range.

I would not try that trick!!! I have dropped deer in there tracks at 180+.... with a 250 gr. hornady and 110 gr. BH209

According to my charts, With a muzzle velocity of 2000 fps. at 200 yds. the bullet should still have 1065 ft. lbs of energy... and 750ft. lbs. at 300yds... plenty to kill a whitetail...

dont tell the dead deer that , especially the the one that was shot at 223 yards had a complete pass through and killed the second deer standing behind it. And especially don't tell the buck that I killed at 234 yards. Although i have to admit he ran 40 yards before he realized he was dead
