Hello- New to this board, so I apologize if this has been posted before.
I have a T/C Omega with Nikon Omega Scope. I've been thinking about going to a 150 gr. load to see if the graduated marks on the reticle are accurate, but everyone I talk to says I won't get good accuracy with that much powder. Haven't had time to try myself yet, any thoughts?
So far, I've been shooting 115 gr. of Triple Se7en (not sure why I picked 115 gr., but I've stuck with it). I started shooting 245 gr. Powerbelts, but got an occasional flyer (which caused me to miss a chip shot at a 160" class buck), so I switched to 250 gr. Shockwave sabots. The SW's shoot great out to 150+ yds, but I shot a buck this year and they did not expand at all and left too small entrance and exit hole. I've been hearing good things about Barnes Expanders and may buy a box.
Anyone else shooting the T/C Omega have any thoughs on optimal bullet/load combos? Most of my hunting shots are close, but its nice knowing that I can 'reach out and touch someone' if needed.......
Thanks in advance
