I recently bought my first BP rifle. I bought a T/C Omega. Was sold T7 Pellets by the sales person. First shot, first swab, got my rod stuck cuz of the crud ring. Looked like a complete fool at the range. Since then, I have converted over to BH209 and I am very pleased. I am confident that I can take multiple shots without swabbing and maintain my accuracy, consistant sabot seating and no hangfires. Although breech plug and flash hole maintainance is needed for prologed and consistant shooting at the range, in the field, if a follow up shot is necessary, (god forbid) I can just pour in a speed load and squeeze of another round in less than a minute.
