SuperMn106 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I am hoping someone with more experience with muzzleloaders can help me out. I have had my Omega for about 5 years now. I have it sighted in at 1" high at 100 yards. I have never been in an area where I could shoot farther than that untill now. I shoot 100 grains (2, 777 pyrodex pellets) with a 200 grain TC Shockwave bullet. My question is, How far will the bullet drop from 100-150 and 150-200. I know I will probably not know untill I shoot it but was hoping someone could give me some help with before I get out to the range. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSmoke Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Bullet drop I just ran across this ballistics calculator on the Remington Arms website. Maybe it will help. You have to plug in a commercial round. I used a 45-70 which is close ballistically to what I shoot. I shoot a T/C Omega with 110 grains of Pyrodex for a muzzel velocity of about 1800 fps. The calculator says that if I zero at 132 yards, I will be 1.9" high at 100 and 1.87" low at 150. I'm trying to get a point of aim where I am the same distance high at 100 as I am low at 150 and this looks like it will be close. At least it's a great startting point. Good luck! http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/ballistics/remington_shoot_ballistics_software.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye54 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Don't know if this helps or not, but this is from a ballistics calculator. This should give you some approximate ideas, but the only way to know for sure is to shoot. This for a 200 gr bullet, figuring approx. 2100 fps muzzle velocity and a BS of .141.
