Alot of people complain about the difficulty in loading a T/C especially for a quick second shot when hunting. Someone claimed that he was able to follow up a shockwave with a quick second shot using a powerbelt. I guess his gun shot SW's and PB's with similar grouping.
Forget the 2nd shot, you never need it. Your a one shot deer hunter and that is it. Like bow hunting only further and more accurate. As for loading get some Harvester Crushed Rib sabots here:

if you want to shoot and excellent bullet in the Omega try a 300g Nosler Partition HG bullet:

use those for hunting. For plinking use Hornady XTP 300g:

Another good hunting bullet that is inexpensive is the Speer Gold Dot:

If you just gotta shoot PBs (your into loading easy), shoot them at 70 or 80g of 777 and use a 348g bullet, broadside rib shots only.
If your gonna take tough shot thru bone use either a Nosler Partitionor a Barnes MZ or TMZ or XPB or a Speer Gold Dot or a bonded TC Shockwave. You gotta experiment a bit to get the right bullet, load and sabot combination that works in your gun.The Crushed Rib with Nosler Partition HG works in the following guns:
Knight Disc Origonal (100g of 777 loose)
Knight Disc Extreme (100 of 777 loose)
TC Omega (100g 777)
TC Hawken FlintLock (80g of fff Goex)
