Default RE: Finally, some accuracy in my Omega

Why are these Omega's so finicky? Why is it so hard to get a second and third(I can not get a third in mine) shot loaded? I use an RCBS adjustable 50 caliber mold. I use pure lead(no tin). Bullet weight is 500 grains. I know you guys are probably laughing at this load. I shoot it in front of 120 grains of 3F black powder. It hurts to shoot this load, I am sure it is too much. This load shoots well in a dozen different ML's. 2-3 inch groups at 100 yds. I get the lead from church windows(so we call it holy lead). I can hear you guys laughing at me(I have been shooting BP for 37 years). All I can say is that I have shot 2 elk, both were pass through, 1 was quartering. Both acted truly sick when hit, neither went 50 yds. Have killed countless deer here in WV, taken many right off their feet, Tom.
