Alright, just remember you asked for it.
Based on my experiences in regular firearms, I think I would prefer sabot projectiles. I think that for me accuracy is the most important property. If I can be accurate enough, the after penetration performance shouldn't matter as much for the whitetail I will be hunting. Are there any benefits to any other type I need to be aware of before picking my main bullet? If I am going with sabot type, what are the different properties of the bullet types? Are the ones like the shockwave with the polymer tip the best or should I go with a hollow point? What are the kill ranges of these type bullets and what is the best distance to sight in my gun? Should I stick with pellet type powder or try loose and customize my charges? Which is better pyrodex or triple 7?
Thanks for any advice you can give. I understand most of this may be personal preference, but I don't want to spend too much time and money only to find I am doing something wrong or should be using something else.
For the time being you might want to stick with Thompson Center projectiles like the Shockwaves in 200 & 250 grain and the T/C Mag Express XTP's in 240 grain. As for pellets or powder, powder is much cheaper to shoot them pellets. Triple Se7en is a nice powder but can form a crud ring. 100 grains of powder is a good starting point.
There are a lot of Omega shooters on the forum. They will jump on this thread and give you all sorts of recommendations.
