[QUOTE="azmetalman, post: 707928, member: 47027"] I had a somewhat simlar experience 3 weeks ago. I am shooting a T/C Triumph, 120 gr. Blackhorn 209, Federal 209 primer with a 300 gr. Scorpion Gold from Harvester Muzzleloading. The load chronographs a consistent 2050 fps. My 100 yard targets were good but the 200 yard groups were were 5 inches high. After much thought I wondered about the Bushnell DOA reticles. Back to the range this week and used the 150 yard reticle at 200 yards. Bingo!! The group moved down to the bullseye. I have used Barnes bullets in my center fire rifles for many years and they produce outstanding accuracy. However all attempts with Barnes in the muzzleloader were futile even at 100 yards so I gave up and called Harvester Muzzleloading. They graciously sent me a small supply of several bullets and their crush rib sabots. This proved to be the answer for my T/C. Don't know if this helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
