I do alot of hunting in dense woods, so I thought a heavy ,hard hitting bullet would do the job. Plus the price is right to!
Good thought....
If I have any problems I might try the SST bullets.
The SST's will not work for you unless you switch out sabots or if you buy the new SST's with what Hornady is calling a "low drag" sabot - which is nothing more than a MMP HPH-3p-EZ load sabot.
Ended up buying the TC 300 gr XTP's.
There are lot of people out there shooting the XTP's and loving them - but I would betthe farm you would like the Speer 300 grain Gold Dots better...
check out pages 6 & 7 - well all of them would be best...

One thing you will need to know your bore on that new Omega is going to be really tight... about the only sabots you will get down are:
1. MMP HPH-24 .451/.452- 50 cal (and they may be tight until you shoot a 100 rounds or so out of the barrel)
2. MMP HPH-3p-Ez load .451/.452 - 50 cal - these should load really even on the new barrel.
3. Harvester regular sabots (either long petal or short petal) this are equivelent to the MMP-HPH-24
4. Harvester "crush rib" might even be easier than the 3p's ( but for me the 3p's hold more pressure...
Two other thought the TC easy glide (yellow) sabot and the Hornady (low drag) red sabots are MMP-3p in a different color.
Hey! good luck the fun has only begun... you will love ML shooting - it will frustrate you at times and it will feelyou with a ton of joy at other times...
