F FULLDRAWXX75 Well-Known Member Joined Jan 29, 2007 Messages 6,227 Location Adirondack Mtns, NY Oct 1, 2007 #2 I am using T/C Shockwaves(240 gr) with Pyrodex 50/30 pellets (90 gr) I have a Nikon 3X9 on top. My groups are good with this set up, I haven't had a chance to shot since last Weds. I hope to get out tonight and do a little more testing. FDXX75

A AlabamaSwamper Well-Known Member Joined Jun 3, 2004 Messages 5,584 Location Southern Wayne CO and NW Alabama Oct 21, 2007 #6 Shot mine Friday. My Omega: 150gr 777 and a 245gr Barnes Spitfire (not tipped) If deer is seen, deer is dead. I'm comfortable out to about 250 yards with this load. I shot better groups than I used to with my Knight and Powerbelts.
