My girlfriend just got me the new Thompson Center Triumph, 50 cal, Bone Collector a few weeks ago.
I went to go buy some rounds from the local store about a month ago but they said they didn't have much in at the time and sold me this...
- Winchester Triple Seven 209 Primers
- Powerbelt Bullets: Copper Series .50 Caliber Aerotips (245 Grain)
- Hodgdon Triple Seven Pre-Formed Pellets (50/50)
So...I went out to shoot it with a friend of mine who has shot more than a few muzzleloaders in his time.
I would ...
- Place TWO of the Triple 7 Pre-Formed Pellets (50/50) into the barrel
- Place my Powerbelt Bullet (245 Grain) into the barrel
- Ram it down properly
- Place the primer
- Now I am ready to shoot.
My question is...am I shooting the proper bullet and pellet combo? One 245 grain bullet with Two 50/50 pellets.
Just want to make sure I am sighting her in with the best/proper/safest load set-up for hunting.
TIA
Looking forward to my first muzzleloader hunt this weekend!
