Go to maxmuzzeloader.com......This guy is an expert on Thompsons and others......His CD is killer....He has done all the tests and can tell you exactly what to shoot......I can tell you straight up owning a Thompson......Get the trigger kit and redo the trigger if its not adjustable......Shoot 90 - 110 grains of triple 7 powder or Black horn 209 .....and shoot 250 grain Thompson shockwaves or a Hornady 250 sabot.......Beleive me, I have also done the tests, this will get you the best results and be deadly.......Throw away the other pellets and powder......His video will tell you the same......Your just blowin powder out the barrel with 150 grains and brusin your shoulder tryin to sight that thing in......If you want consistency and accuracy follow the above and definitely check out this site....Goodluck

Mine was actually a little low at 50 and dead on at 100... (The bullet was rising between 50 and 100).. I also like to keep mine 1 inch high at 100... I shoot 2 pellets of pyrodex with a 250 grain bullet.. I was 8 inches low at 150 yards... Bullets don't rise. Your scope is above the muzzle is why you hit low at 50.
Hillbilly is dead on.
Measure your scope ht and write it down. It matters...

Guys-
A CHRONOGRAPH and an ACTUAL (not published) b.c. of the bullet you shoot will be very telling-
Then, add some practice.
A blank "2" high at 100", will net you [censored] at 250.
