Thanks once again Caygad, I will keep the Noslers in mind. I am always interested to learn more about blackpowder hunting, and sabots in particular.

Funny thing, I tried the Barnes Spit-Fire TMZ's in my Omega, and I couldn't get them down my barrel, neither could my nephew in his CVA, but since I already had an used pack (due to this problem) I decided to try them in my Pro Hunter, and they actually go down pretty smoothly.

All in all, I was pleased with the way the Barnes bullets did for the first time shooting this gun, but I will be taking your advice, and I believe swabbing with the solution, rather than the pre[treated patches will solve my issue.

I love this site..... its so cool to be able to share things like this and learn from eachother!
