I have never had good success with SST/shockwaves but you gun will likely come with some shockwaves.Shoot em and see how they do. My friends omega loved them and he never moved on. I've had good luck with sabotloaders suggested load (the speer gold dot) but my omega definetly perfers the 300gr variety. XTP's load and shoot pretty much the same but I like all of the terminal performance buzz that I hear about the speer bullets. The 245 gr barnes spitfire is still the best grouper for me.But the price makes me use it for whitetail only; it doesn't fit my weekend range session budget.I also recommend avoiding powerbelts. My buddy swears by them but I feel they 1) cost too much, 2) fragment too much (he never finds a exit wound and just shards of lead all over the chest cavity).
