Default I'm getting frustrated!!!

I went out and shot my omega this morning and was disappointed again. No matter what I try I can't get good accuracy. This morning I was shooting 245 powerbelts and 240 buffalo bullet sabots. I was also using 2 50 grain 777 pellets. My friend swears by these and told me they are super clean. I didn't notice them being any cleaner than loose powder. At 50 yards the best group I could get with the powerbeltswas about 2 inches and that was only 2 shots. The third was always somewhere else. I backed off to 100 yards and shot my best2 shot group ever with the buffalo sabots, it was about 1 inch. I got all excitedand carefully fired a third shot and it was four inches low. I tried cleaning after every shot, not cleaning, letting the barrel cool and shooting it hot andI can't get good consistant groups. On a previous test session I tried various loads of loose powder with the same results.I checked the gun over and everything seems tight. Are muzzleloaders supposed to be this frustrating? Could a 5-10 mph wind blow the bullets around this much?
