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

I am as well new to the Black Powder family, only had mine for about 3 days and fired about 25 rounds. I wanted to get my scope (Nikon Omega) sighted in at 100 yd’s and have gotten close. I have been using shock wave 250g with 2 50/pellets of pyrodex. Today shot 4 rounds in the 9 ring at 100 yd’s. Looking forward at moving back further.

I think I will be trying the T7 pellets as I hear and have read they are less corrosive then pyrodex and easier clean up. I hope my Omega likes this because I don’t like the idea of using corrosive powder when there are other alternatives. Plan to try the T7 powder as well.

Been using the 209 Remington black powder primers and they have worked well. I am sure the Winchester T7 primers would work fine as well.

Still have some work to do but off to a good start. I have heard the some of the hornady rounds are the exact same as the shock waves, anyone know what model that is? I wonder if the hornady brand would be cheaper.
