Trust me on this....you will not be dissappointed with Barnes Spitfire TMZ 250 grain and blackhorn powder.....the barnes bullets pedal out perfect everytime and I have never had them break--->they are solid copper.

Give it a shot ;)

This is what I shoot as well; only I shoot the 290gr. and Blackhorn out of my Triumph. They are an excellent bullet, I have recovered a few of them from deer I shot and they have perfect expansion every time. I try to stay away from the bullets with lead cores, seems that a lot of time they fragment into pieces and loose their weight or they just don't expand very well. Give them a try, you won't be dissapointed.

300gr Shockwave w/black sabot, Fed 209A primer, 115gr Blackhorn 209.

I haven't shot at any fur or experimented with loads much. I started hunting the day after I after stumbled on that load and will leave well enough alone til spring.

Consensus on the 'net seems to be T/C's need to be broken in by shooting or some JB Bore Paste, BH 209 likes tight bore to sabot fit, and magnum 209 primers improve consistency.

Good Luck

I just patterned my Triumph today. It shot unbelievable groups with 100gr 777 pellets and 240gr Precision Rifle Dead Center Sabots. I was able to cloverleaf 3 shot groups from 50 yards consistently, and from 100 yards they were sub 2 inch groups.

I also shot 245gr Powerbelts and they patterened nicely, as well, but I prefer the Dead Centers for hunting.

Good luck!

Good deal Randy.

Remind me to give you some Powerbelts if you come down for a rabbit hunt this year. Powerbelts don't like my Encore too much.

Rabbit hunt? Does that mean we are invited back?? If so, let's set a date!

Mentioned it to Tom a while back, I think we can arrange it. We can stomp around here if not in Danville. Plenty of bunnies around. Probably gonna wait until deer season is out though.

Rink's Encore loves Powerbelts btw

Interesting. Well, you guys are welcome to them, I won't be using them.

I understand waiting until after deer season- I will be chasing deer until then also. Hopefully, i can anchor one with the Triumph! Rink's Encore shoots those Powerbelts amazingly well. As much as I hate to admit it, he is a great shot. After all, he is a SWAT counter-sniper, right?
