Default RE: Omega +777= CRUD!

ORIGINAL: CAJUNBOWHNTR

Finally got a chance to do some shooting with my new Omega.100 grains(2 pellets)777,kleenbore primers and 250 grain regular shockwave.After only 1 shot I could not load to the proper depth(at least without a mallet) unless I swabbed the barrel.I have had guns that got difficult to load after several shots(ie get the bullet down the barrel) but never one where I could not seat the bullet after only one shot.once I started spit patching between shots it actually shot and grouped good at 100 yds.The difference in sight impact on a second shot without swabbing was 3.5" high.

For know I will stick with the 777 I really don't want to shoot pyrodex.I would rather use one of the newer less fouling powders.So what can I use in this gun and not have to deal with the crud ring.I want to be able to get off a follow up shot without swabbing the barrel.
You got a few choices that'll alleviate that.

Swab after every shot
Switch powder
Switch plastic sabot
Switch 209 primer to Winchester Triple Se7en
