bbass300 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm shooting a TC Triumph...just wondering if any of you guys have had good luck already with a certain bullet and powder? and maybe what you recommend in between shots on the range to get as much consistency as possible? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Have had pretty good results here with the 240 grain tc xtp mags and 120 grains of pyrodex in my tc black diamond. Run a spit patch between shots here, works for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMort Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 We shoot, 295 HP powerbelts or 348 solid power belts out of our encores with 110 grains of Trip 7, No complaints, 1-2 inch groups at 100-150 yards respectively. Never lost a deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I shoot powerbelts. I personally like the 348 gr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKYhunter Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Try a 250 grain TC Shockwave. As far as powder goes, my buddy and I both shoot 3 50 grain 777 pellets for a total of 150 grains. Some guns like this load and some don't. You really need to experiment to see what your particular gun likes best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The Triumph just loves the 250 or 300 gr Shockwave or SST and 110 - 120 gr by volume of Blackhorn 209 ignited by CCI 209M, Win 209, or Federal 209A primers. Do not use the primers designed for muzzleloaders. They are not hot enough for BH209. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I bought a new Triumph this year and have been shooting 270gr Powerbelts on 100gr of Triple 7 (2 pellets). I killed three management deer and this buck last week, so I'm pretty happy with the gun and load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I bought a new Triumph this year and have been shooting 270gr Powerbelts on 100gr of Triple 7 (2 pellets). I WAS shooting 300 grain powerbelts with 100 grains of triple 7 powder and was getting literally no expansion on the bullet. I dug them out of the tree and I darn near could shoot them again:eek: I also had a buddy have the same problem with 100 grains. I think if your gonna shoot powerbelt you need to shoot a higher grain b/c from digging those bullets out they would just punch a small hole in the deer and not expand... Right now I shoot TC shockwaves 250 grain with 150 grains of triple seven pellets and my Traditions pursuit loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMort Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I shoot an encore with 295 hollow point powerbelts on 100 grains loose triple seven, the damage in outstanding you might not get a blood trail but for one the deer is going very far and 2 once you open it up its just destroyed inside. Never lost a deer or had problems with expansion our hunting party all shoots the same load well 295 hp or 348's and out of 30 deer the past 3 years none have been lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
