I recently got a T/C Pro Hunter and was wondering if anyone has any tips on loading for the best accuracy? Like types of powder, sabots and the loading procedures?

I have a 50 cal TC Omega and have had excellent results with 100 grain 777 powder [Two 50 grain pellets] and 250 grain TC Shockwave Sabot. When I load gun I just fimly push rod. I then shot a few times and then marked the push rod so I get the same results every time.

My Encore likes 100 gr. 777 (2-50 gr pellets) and the Barnes 300 gr, and 250 gr MZ bullets. It shoots these well out to 225 yds.

Hi,

Do you run a wet patch down the barrel followed by a dry one after every shot? I find it extreamly hard to push the sabots down the barrel even when doing this.

Use "Bore Butter".

I got 3 shots before I cleaned barrel. It wasn't that hard on second shot but became harder on 3rd shot. This is why I marked ram rod so that I am sure that I have the sabot all the way down.

I have 50 cal T/C encore I get great results from 120 grns of hodgen triple 7 (aka 777). I have my best results shooting a 295 grn hollow point (power belt ) bullet I've tried the areo tips in both the 245 grn & 295 grn but I get better, more consistent groups from the heaver 295 grn hollow point. I zero my scope at 1'' high @ 100 yrds and the drop at 200 yrds is 7 to 8 inches .last year i shot a doe at arround 200 steps give or take a few steps I lost count once. I just held on the top of the back above the shoulder The deer went about 50 yrds . Cleaning between shots Is a must! When sighting in or choosing a particular projectial & powder load your gun seems to shoot best. Bore butter is not only a fantastic bullet lube but a great protectant/seasoning product Its all natural and water solubale .Just in case you didnt know hot soapy water with a bore mop or bore brush if your gun is really dirty is the best cleaner for black powder fire arms. I use to shoot a knight wolverine ( I gave it to my hunting partner when i bought my T/C ENCORE It shot very accuratly with 90 grns triple se7en with 245 grn hollow point (POWER BELT ) bullets . I said that to say this .when I first shot my T/C ENCORE I didnt get great results but after trying diffrent loads I'd put it up agantst any muzzle loader . I also shoot a hawkin 50 cal flint lock and cap and ball pistols. both with traditional black powder . FFG for the rifle & FFFG for the pistol. not cleaning after each shot is ok in hunting situations. and after you've found your best digestable load for your gun. barrel length, caliber & are you shooting a gun capible of handling a magnium load are questions I would ask before just trying any load some one migh suggest shoots best for them. magnum guns are capible of shooting safe loads of up to 150 grns of triple se7en. good luck just rember new guns arent really broken in good until youve shot about 100 rounds through them because during the manufacturing process of cutting the grooves in the rifling , burrs , are left that you cant see and they strip plastic off sabots & brass off bullets they leave accuracy robbing dibre in the barrel . ONE more reason to clern after every shot. until you find the right load . I hope this has been helpfull Im not an expert but I shoot with some pretty sharp guys who have a lot of expernce in the shooting sports . finding the right load for your gun is kind of like putting in the scouting time for that one deer youve seen on your scuoting camera , picking the right stand , for the right wind direction , and making the perfect shot. because you know your gun shoots 8 inches low at 200 yards. with a 2 inch group . thats confedence . And that feels good. put in the work and you'll get results

I have the Hunter Safety System Pro Series Vest and it is awesome. I paid 85 for it at the Archery Forum this year. It is so comfortable it was worth every penny. I like the deer drag feature.
