Thompson Center Omega at 200yds?
This morning i had a 160 inch plus buck come in at 210 yards and decided not to take the shot because of not knowing how much the bullet drops at that distance. I was wondering if anybody has a good idea of how much the bullet drop is at 150yds, 200yds, and 250yds? Im using 2hodgdon triple seven pellets and TC 250 grain shockwave sabots

Well, not sure about your load. But I regular practice at 200 yards out of my knight and TC encore. With 130gr of 777 and 250gr barnes expander, shooting 2100fpssighted in dead on at 100 yards, I drop 9" out to 200 yards.
I can crank my turret up 6MOA and be dead on at 200.
I wouldn't shoot 200yards at a deer unless I knew exactly what would happen.

Go out and shoot it at the various distances, then you will know. I know people do shoot them that far, but I would never take a shot that I wasn't sure of what the outcome could be. Good luck!

Good advice. Do not rely on what other people do, and their results. You owe it to the animal to get the lowdown by trying different loads at variety of distances.
