what did you use for a load?
Depending on end use and load will effect your zero...
See first post.
there are several variablesSorry, I did not know it varied.
I was told to use 2 pellets. This seems to be working well for me, so I have no reason to change or vary anything. Maybe I could use some cheaper ammo for practice or sighting in.

Front sight on my TC Omega is too low. Known issue on earlier models, I've read. Contacted S&W. They expected me to purchase a replacement sight. I put a scope on it.
I would never see a deer at 250 yards. I'd say 100 yards is my limit, and that is a big stretch. Pretty thick woods around here. Yes, it seems pretty accurate, once I get the height adjusted.T/C Omega is a very accurate ML. I would highly recommend a scope on it to see its real potential. Harvesting a deer @ 250 yds with that smoke pole is realistic.
On a side note: Can anyone who owns a Prohunter or Endeavor with the Speedbreeck XT breech plug please PM me...I have a question TIA.
I have seen some good deals on muzzleloader scopes , often several pages deep into searches.I looked for that Nikon scope.

I still see no real chances of taking a shot much over 50 yards.
you could just use a rear peep, it makes for zome quick alignment , that front fiber sight will darn near center it self up automatically.The fiber sights seem to work quite well for me. Thanks.
