Does the new T/C Triumph eliminate the need for a 25ACP conversion?
« on: November 24, 2008, 05:21:06 PM »
First of all, sorry I've been gone so long.  Family, work, health, and maybe an alien encounter are to blame.

I have searched and I didn't find the answer.

I held the Triumph and I kind of like it.  I do like the Omega more, but I was wondering if the Triumph and the redesigned breech plug has finally gotten around the need for a 25ACP conversion?

Also, would the Omega have the greater capability of accuracy due to it having a one piece stock (and bedded), and not a break open action?

I found that the Remington Kleenbore primes did a great job by themselves and actually eliminated the need for the 25 APC breech plug.

Also there are a lot of guys that say the 209 Black Horn powder is very good, therefor eliminating the need for the 25 ACP breech plug also.

I Have the triumph when I picked it up and put it to shoulder it was a perfect fit, installed a 3x9 scope and have shot it alot. I have not found that it needs anything else except a deer in its sights :) :) :) I use the cci 209 primers and have had no problems. I am switching over to 777 pellets and power belt bullets to see how it does with them.

I am using T/C 209 primers in my Triumph. They are specifically designed for inlines, and judging by the sound, are pretty similar to a 25 acp set up (which I have in my Encore inline).

So I don't think you need the conversion if you use the right 209 primer.

Thanks for everyone's replies.

I think I'm going to go with the Triumph and Blackhorn 209 powder.  Seems to be the best bang for the dollar.  I don't want to worry about conversion kits and what nots, it is what got me away from NEFs.

Triumph and Blackhorn 209 powder is a very good combination. No crude ring at all. I shot about 12 shots last weekend and first load went in just like the last load. Use the standard 209 primers not the muzzleloader primers.
