Default Finally shot my new omega

I finally had time to shoot about 10 rounds through my omega. I was shootingfrom 60 yards anddidn't have a bench so I was leaning against something in my yard. Anyway, I was just trying to get used to loading and I wanted to adjust the scope so it was close. I noticed the buffalo bullet Co.sabots were pretty hard to load. I was also only using 85 grains of pyrodex ff. After I shot and I swabbed the barrel I couldn't believe how much powder was left in the barrel. It also seemed damp. Is this normal?
Other than that I was able to get the scope close and my last two shots were right where I wanted them. I can't wait to try it off a bench at longer distances. I'm used to a 12 gauge slug gun and was pleasantly surprised with how little recoil a muzzleloader has.
