Default Omega and Shockwaves

I sighted in my Omega yesterday using 300 grain bonded T/C Shockwaves,(2) .50 cal Pyrodex Pellets, and Kleanbore primers. I sighted in at 100 yards using a Caldwell Steady Rest while laying prone on the ground. I sighted in approx. 3" high which puts me dead on at 150 yards. I still need to adjust appox. 2" left.My shoulder had had enough as I also shot 13 Hornady SSTs from my slug gun and sighted in my New Englander prior to shooting my Omega. If I measured my group right, it is approx. 1 7/8". My first two shots were basically touching and my thrid was a little bit off the first two. The third shot was actully the saem bullet but withthe Super Glide Sabot. I wanted to see if they shot the same and they do. I will try to post a photo.

Also, I tried some JSG sticks I bought at a yard sale and some would not go down my barrel. They have the triangular taper and would not drop down like Pyrodex pellets. Are they supposed to be like that and just pushed down behind the bullet? I just stopped shooting the sticks and went back to my Pyrodex pellets. I will say, my shot with Pyrodex pellets right after the one withJSG was practically on top of the JSG shot. Are they fairly comparable in power or was it a fluke?
