Hello all, I am new to ML and have a TC Omega w/a thumbhole wooden stock....although after reading Statjunk's posts on accuracy am already rethinking.
Anyway, I thought I'd ask for favorite loading options. Pellets/Powder 90/100/110 probably. Shockwave 250 seem to be popular, and I have a BDC-250 scope so I'd like to keep it at 250gr. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I would just like some popular options to play with so I can find my fav.
Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I went back 8 pages and didn't seem to find anything on Omega loads specifically.
I have an omega with the Nikon Omega bdc reticle scope. It is rated for the bdc with 3 pellets(150 gr). I only shoot 100 grains but it works well to 150 yards. then it shoots a little low naturally. I have found it to be very accurate with 100 grains and a 250 gr bullet. I shoot either the Shockwave superglide or the Scorpion pt gold. Both shoot excellent for me . I also have a Traditions bdc scope and it is as accurate as the nikon. Which scope do you have? And is your bdc based on 150 grains? It probably is. I have never had a need to shoot 150 grains personally , but 200 yards is my maximum shot and I prefer 100 or less to be honest. Very rarely do I take a shot over 100 yards. Very rarely do I ever need to.
if using loose powder you should get as much velocity from 120 grains as you would from 3 pellets anyway. Are you planning on shooting 2f or 3f or just pellets? Those are all factors. I would start looking for the right combination with 100 grains and the 250 shockwave and experiment from there.
