TC Omega: Best Bear Hunting Load?
« on: July 16, 2006, 04:31:05 PM »
Hey Boys--

Decided I may take the T/C Omega out in August instead of a rifle.  I haven't shot it much since I bought it, and wondering what the best bullet & powder combo may be for big Black Bear here in Minnesota.  I'd rather use pellets because that is what I am used to using, but any suggestions would be great =)

I have 3 different Encores and all three shot different set ups. I could not get all three to shoot the same, even when I used all the same set up. Your best bet is to try  several different loads and bullets and see what gives you the best accuracy. Most 250 gr. bullets and up would work good on black bear.

Appreciate the responses.  Will make a run to Gander MTN and see if I can come up with a few different things to try.
