Does anyone have any experience with a Triumph ML? I am considering one and trigger feels decent. Most of the ML's I've owned have had marginal triggers. Thanks in advance for your input.

I just got a TCT 50 in camo/ws.
Curious which win primer you are using, the triple seven ML 209 primer or the w209 shotgun primer with the BH powder.
I plan to use BH209 but BH shows not to use ML primers. Either of you run BH209 behind any TC maxi-ball or maxi-hunter conicals or shockwaves in the TCT?
Thanks,
TxT

I love mine, lightweight, easy to clean. The Barnes 290 gr. Spit-Fire EZ-load bullets over the Blackhorn 209 is surprisingly accurate and good elk medicine too, first elk was DRT.
I once visited a place where BBQ was a verb, Canadian whiskey was the norm and no sweet tea on the menu. Hell on earth for a Southern boy!!

Haven't tried anything but the PBs and the Hornadys, which also shot pretty well, we can't use sabots in Coloraddy.

I use the Remington STS primers. DO NOT use the 777 primers as they are reduced in intensity and you need the hottest primers to ensure ignition by BH 209.

Smokepole! You gave that cow a bloody nose!
+1 on the Triumph. Pretty tough to beat for ease of use.

Here's a couple that encountered some REALLY bad luck at the hands of the Triumph.

That first photo looks fake....you know, it's against the law to put a rack on a horse and try to pass it off as a deer.

After speaking with Doc Encore(Greg)and after much research, I've decided to go with the TC 50 stainless/black with a Vari X II Leupold in 2x7x33. BH 209 to make it so I can shoot without cleaning after each shot and I will pass along my White's 45 Whitetail to my son.
Thanks Greg. If you boys can think of any improvements to my selection, I'm all ears.
Happy MZ hunting,friends!

I love mine. Its a tac driver. The PB's are extremely accurate as well as the Barnes and Shockwaves. It's my first ML, and think it will probably take care of my needs for the forseeable future. Goodluck.
