I recommend Shock Waves or deep curl bullets in 250 gr for deer . You may need to try both Short black Harvester and crush rib sabots to see which fits your gun the best they vary. The best powder for that gun is Blackhorn any regular 209 for reloading will work the win 209 fits mine the best. Try starting at 100 grains and then try 110 and 120 and see which groups the best in your gun.

Lee can you tell me if the powder pellets or the loose powder would be more accurate groups?

Loose powder all the way and do yourself a favor and shoot BH209 in that T/C, you will thanks yourself later on.Graf&sons is a great place to buy M/L supplies. orders over $25.00 ship for a flat rate of $4.95 always. quite a few folks here shoot triumphs including myself, if you need any suggestions just hollar..
