Default RE: T/C Omega

Do not hesitate in buying an Omega. After 4 years of shooting 100+ rounds a year in the off season and carrying it as a weapon of choice during NY deer season I willonly give high praises for its quality and accuracy.I have shot every bullet and powder combination and have come down to a simple approach. 2 50 grain pellets of triple seven, 240 xtp mag hornady and remington 209 clean shot primer. I have recently started testing the newer polymer tips and the verdict is still out. Deer
season is almost here so I will test them next year.
Performance is the issue.I was told of a poor man's way to test bullet penetration from a dealer friend so I will pass this on. 3 large telephone books taped together with a 3/4" piece of plywood for the base. Set your target on the plywood and shoot 75 yards. Check the penetration and the condition of the bullet. For you powerbelt lovers. Your bullet has blown up into fine pieces and usually does not make the 3rd
book every time. Every other bullet has performed well but the xtp mags have mushroomed perfectlygood luck shoot straight and often
