Default RE: Omega - Favorite Load Combination?

I have the Omega with the Nikon Omega bdc 250 scope. I have used both the Shockwave and the Powerbelt and bothe do the job. I have also used the pyrodex and the 777. I don't know if it is me or what but the 777 is accurate on the first shot but way off on the second. I am not sure if I am loading it right on the second shot as in I might be crushing pellets while pushing the bullet. I had no problems with the pyrodex except there was a lot of fowling to clean. I have been thinking about using the American Pioneer sticks. Any one tried these yet.

With the bullets the powerbelts are easier to load but I have heard that they may leak by when shot. The shockwave I have taken deer out to 150 yards with 100 gr of powder.
