I shoot an Omega a ton... SS/GreyBlack Laminate...

I also have not made the big jump to the SST/Shockwave bullet bunch - I have read to many less than great experiances with this bullet @ close ranges only - but thare are a ton of people out there shooting them taht love em.

I prefer buying bulk reloading bullets and bulk sabots... this usually the least expensive route to doing a lot of shooting. I also shoot loose powder T7-2f again because it less expensive and allows a little more latitude in your powder loads. Some people are unable to shoot T7 in their Omega/Encore guns because of the "crud ring" fowling that occurs near the seated bullet. I do not have that problem so it works better than great for me.

Omega/Encores have a really tight barrel especially when they are new. This is going to require a thin sabot so I use the MMP HPH-24 and if that is a problem then go to the MMP HPH-3p-ez it should load up just fine.

Bullets - bullets are taking a heck of a jump in price in recent months... and unfortunately for me I shoot one of the more expensive bullets out there when I am hunting... I shoot .451 Noslers Partitions... 260 grain for deer and 300 grain for elk. But for shooting paper and because I am trying to develope an alternative to the Noslers - I shoot .452 Speer Gold Dots again either 250 or 300 grain they are an amazing bullet. I shoot 100 grains of powder and again in an MMP sabot.

These have been a very effective bullet for me both in accuracy and effectivly taking the animal down.


But - it is a lot of fun to expriment with all kinds of stuff and find the one you like..

Good luck & have fun....
