Default RE: Omega +777= CRUD!

My stainless Omega has been a 777 crud ring maker from the start. I have tried everything (ran 200up and 200 down passes with JB bore paste) , tried all three styles of breechplug (flat, small recess, big recess) ,Switched to the .25ACP conversion breechplug.Nothing fixed the problem. The .25ACP was the most effective but with Tripple Seven there was still not a possiblity of a second shot without a spit patch in between loading. Then I found Black Mag'3 and have not shot anything else since. I can load four or five shots without any trouble and could probably do a lot more but have not had any reason to do so. I still have to be sure to select the bullets of .451 not .452 and use Harvester sabots. I have never found any T/C bullet sabot combinations that will go down my barrel. Maybe I have been getting old stock as the first ones were supposed to be bad but supposedly they have fixed the problem now. Use Black Mag'3 and you will give up on the 777 cruddy crap.
