If I have the information correct, you a shooting an 45 cal Omega???

I would totally agree with you on the use of Power Belts - even if you were to slow then them down and then the fact that I bought an Omega to speed things up...

I think if you were to shoot 10mm (40 cal) bullets the first round i would look at might be the 200 grain TC Shockwave. I personally probably would not shoot the SW but Hornady 10mm 200 grain XTP - I can afford to shoot targets and game with this bullet.

With a 110 grains of T7-2f I am shooting this bullet very acurately @ 2100 fps.

Barnes makes a 10mm 195 grain Expander MZ bullet that might also be a great bullet... These are not boattail so you can switch out the thicker sabots for a thinner MMP...

But if most of your shots are under 175 - I woulds still be using the 10mm 200 grain XTP's. Inexpensive great bullet...
