Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Speed question

Just own seeing if any one shoots 120 grains of loose 777 with a 250 TC shockwave? Just trying to get an idea of how fast it's going?

Plenty fast enough!

You expecting trouble?

Speed don't kill there is not much difference in a 100 gr. load mite find out it does better job all the way around

You are good for 300 yard kills with that load.

I would be more concerned on bullet placement than speed, starting at 100 yards. BTW, I harvested deer with 85gr 777 loose at 125 yards, with similar sized sabot/bullets. Currently using 85gr BH209 with300gr XTPs & 295gr HP Copper Powerbelts

Sorry, this isn't exactly what you asked for but I have chronographed a 250 gr power belt backed by100 gr equivalent (2 50gr pellets) of Triple Seven in a Rem. 700 Muzzleloader and it was only about 1,750 fps.

Blackhorn 209(86 gr by weight, not volume) in my TC Triumph pushes a 250gr Barnes TMZ sabot at approx 2,150-2,200 fps with great accuracy.

Blackhorn 209 is the bomb! And no crud ring(shot 10 shots without cleaning).

Good luck,
