Question Omega + BH209 + X = Your tightest groups

I have a T/C Omega, BH209 powder and CCI 209M primers. Omega shooters, what BH209/projectile combo has yielded the tightest groups for you? I know that EVERY gun has its own preferences, but I just want to come up with the short list.

I have two sets of T/C sabots (freebies) but I can't remember what they are (FAIL!!). They both have yellow tips, but one has a yellow sabot and the other a black. I have yet to shoot the Omega. Hope it will be soon!

Your free bees are Shock Waves and usually are the most accurate in a Omega with a 100gr load of Blackhorn. There are a few with a very tight bore that require a sabot change.

I believe if they have yellow tips, then they are the unbonded model. Also, I think the yellow sabot is TC's superglide sabot and the black sabot is the factory regular.

I use those shockwaves you got (regular...black sabot) with 120 grains of pyrodex and get 1.5'' groups or so
