Default RE: Finally, some accuracy in my Omega

ORIGINAL: txhunter58

sounds like you and I have had very similar experiences. Just remember that going back to pyrodex was the only way I found what I consider acceptable accuracy. Hopefully you can find some with powerbelts and 777.

I also tried Black mag3 and APP and they were worse in my gun than 777.

The kicker is that my brother got an identical Omega and his gun shoots what ever bullet and powder you put through it.
Am I off-base here, or should we expect more consistency from a brand of muzzleloader than that? I know we all say, "thisrifle likes this", "An this un likes this", "Oh and this un will shoot about anything you stuff down it" It seems to me that there is very little effort payed to producing weapons which perform consistently. To make matters worse, we as consumers almost uniformly accept this about muzzleloading rifles giving the manufacturers, basicly, a free out, to defects in workmanship, settling on good enough or marginally huntable.
