Default RE: TC Omega......problems

I have a stainless Omega 50 and I agree the rifle is difficult to load with most sabot/bullet combinations. Powder makes a big difference also. If you are shooting 777 forget a second shot even with a Powerbelt which will sometimes load a second without a swab using Pyrodex or Clean Shot. If you really want to shoot several shots without a swab between I suggest you find some Black Mag3 powder and use a Powerbelt bullet. I have heard about more than 50 shots without a swab between shots. Personally I shot three in a row using a Harvester sabot and a 300gr. .452 bullet and could have shot more but the test was only calling for three. Converting to the .25ACP primer also helps. Mine shoots almost in the same hole so I am satisfied with it as long as I pick the right bullet powder combination.
