T7,

You need to settle the heck down. I am a TC lover. I have an Omega, and love it! I have just achieved my sub 2 inch groups with a different projectile, thats all.

I made an error in my post, as I meant to say slightly over bore.
TC barrels are slightly over .50, not under. I apologize for the confusion.
That is why some people get less than stellar results with the powerbelts, and that is why they seat much easier in TC rifles than some others (although they seat quit easliy in most any rifle).

I've seen you on other boards T7, your arrogance does not surprise me.

And I am not in Green Bay.

Glad you mentioned the typo error. I can only comment on what I read from posters like you. I always assume I'm reading the truth.

With yours, it wasn't the truth. I'm not at fault here. I will continue to defend any ml manufacturer unless someone can prove fault lies with the assembly, design or structure of the rifle at question.

Thanks for the correction

No problem. You were quick to jump thats all.

I love TC's products and service, and wouldn't slanderize them at all.

Try 300 grain XTP's in a sabot.

Well, I finally had great success. Took it out this weekend and did 2 things different. I tapped by powder measure only once after loading it and I dropped to 90 grains of triple 7 shooting a 348 gr aerotip powerbelt. First 3 shoots were literally touching at 25 yards. Moved back to 50 and got a 1" group and 1-1/2" group at 75 yards. This is with a peep rear and fiberoptic front sight. I thought that was outstanding! I figure I have found my load. I then shot some 295's with 90 grain and got 1-1/2" group at 75 yards with that. Plenty good for me too, since I don't shoot past 100 with open sights.

I really think my initial poor groups was caused by tapping the measure too much. I would tap it 12-15 times and the triple 7 would settle a lot, probably giving me inconsistent amounts. With tapping it only once before I cut it off, it sure seemed to work well.

txhunter58,sounds great,did you get your new front sight yet or was that with the old one?

txhunter58

with the old one. My groups were 3" low at 25 yards and 2" low at 50, so I still need the new sight. Hopefully it will come in this week and I can try again next week.

TX, Did you ever think of going down to 245 gr Powerbelts? These shoot great out of my .50 Optima Pro.

txhunter58

Yes, but for elk hunting, I like to have bigger bullets. I know lots of guys do well up to elk size with 245's, but I just like the added weight. And since I have them shooting really well now, don't see any reason to go lower.
