Default RE: TC Omega - Load Combinations????

ORIGINAL: Absolute Giant

Hello

I am brand new to muzzleloading. I recently purchased a Thompson Center Omega and thought I would ask those who have the same muzzy what powder/bullet combinations work best for them. I am thinking about using my new Omega for the opening firearm season so I don't have a lot of time to experiment. As bad as I want a scope I don't think I will be ableget it in time for the first season. I have shot it using 2-pellets of Triple Seven and the Shockwave sabots that came with the gun. I believe they were were 250 or 300 grain. I also tried 2-pellets of Triple Seven with Powerbelt Aerotip 245 grain bullets. Although I have tried these combinations I haven't shot it enough to say one is better than the other. I am going to get out this weekend and shoot again. Do you feel that a heavier grain bullet is better? Say a 295 Grain Powerbelt Aerotip? If you could enlighten me on what has worked best for your Omega I would appreciate it.

Thanks
100g of loose 777 works good, as does 777 pellets if your just getting started. Nosler Partition 300g and Crushed rib sabot, another cheaper alternative is Speer Gold Dot. Chap Gleason
