If all you're looking for is help getting on the paper, plan to be around a foot low, maybe a few inches more, by 200 yds I would think.  There is no substitute for shooting your gun and seeing where it hits.

With 120 grains Pyrodex Select and 250 grain Hornady SST(same bullet) I am approximately 8-10 inches low just past 200 yards.  I know this is not 2 pellets, but hope this may help a little.  Comparing my load with your load, AndyHass would be darn close I believe.

I did some extensive long range testing with my T/C Omega before I took it to North Carolina for their muzzleloader season last week. Thought I might have the opportunity for some longer shots, hunting over soybean and peanut fields. I shoot a 250 Gr. Shockwave with 105 Grs. of BM3 powder. ( 777 shoots the same for me, its just not as clean). My Omega shoots 2" high @ 50yds., 3" high @ 100yds., dead on @ 150yds., 7" low at 200yds. I lucked out and took a very nice 8 Pt. @ 80 yds., and a doe at 141yds. (yardage checked with my Leupold Rangefinder).  Both were shot in the shoulder and neither moved off the spot. Different barrel lengths can make a difference in trajectory as well as different powders.

You should be right around 1,900fps at the muzzle so with a .240 BC on the bullet, you can simply run it through a ballistic calculatotr and get all the info you need. Of course you'll still need range work to verify what the calculator says but in my Omega it has been right on.
