Default Inputs on load/bullet types

I currently use a 295gr hollowpoint Powerbelts with 2-50gr 777 pellets. I use a TC Omega and can hold groups capable of hitting a deer's vital area out to 125 yards. I am confident the gun could shoot further but I am not confident at that range. Looking for general feedback on what loads others are using and there overall confidence level with there load/bullet combo's.

i tried the powerbelts out a couple seasons and could never get tight groups. the hornady xt's were always very accurate out of that gun which was a knight. i now have the t/c triumph and my load is 2 50gr pellets and a t/c shockwave. very good groups. i have a couple hunting buds at work that have the omega and shoot that same load. they are happy with their groups also. i tried the powerbelts out because they looked so easy to load but just could never get the accuracy.

i would try the t/c shockwave and see what you group at 150 yds. maybe it will build your confidence with it

Thanks for the feedback. I have heard good things about the TC Shockwave bullets. Have you tried the bonded bullets? I heard they are better on CXP3 category animals (elk,moose etc) and are overkill on CXP2 game. (deer,antelope,black bear)
