Default I finally bought me one

First thanks for all the help by answers to my posts. Its nice to find people that are willing to share knowledge and experience.


Cabelas had the omega z5 composite w/weather shield non thumbhole on sale and basspro matched the price so I ordered it. I will have to get mounts and I guess that I will use my shotgun scope for now.


Any thoughts on the following:
Here is a list of loads I found after a search on Omega. I cut and pasted several posts that had a load in it and removed the words leaving loads. I know this is not a complete list of all posts with load recommendations (that could take a while) but figure it would be a good start.
200 shockwave 110gr FFg 777 loose
200 shockwave 150gr Pellet Pyrodex
245 Barnes 90gr 777 loose
200,250,300 shock wave 100-120gr Pyrodex RS or 777 powder start at 80gr and go up
MMP HPH12, HPH24 and 3petel EZ sabots


I guess I will start with 200 and 250 shockwaves and 90gr Pyrodex loose since its on clearance at wal-mart.
After trying the 90 100 120 gr Pyrodex with each bullet I’ll try the same with 777 loose.
Toss out the worst of the two and move to the next bullet and repeat.

Can anyone help with these (MMP HPH12, HPH24 and 3petel EZ sabots) I’m not sure what they are. I mean I know they are sabots but what is different about them.
