Default RE: ML Omega shopping tommorow?

ORIGINAL: MLKeith

I have a stainless Omega .50 and I can tell you what works for me. My recommendation in decending order for Powder is"Black Mag3(difficult to find but absolutely the best for me;clean and powerful),American Pioneer Powder fffg only not ffg, Pyrodexfffg or ffg, Pyrodex pellets next, Real black powder if you can find it,Triple Seven is not recommended by me as it causes a pretty bad crud ring in my rifle and more than I care to deal with. Bullets in same order: Powerbelts 295gr. or heavier shoot well in my rifle and load easy (most expensive however), Hornady 300gr. bullet/sabot (may be difficult to load-tight bore), Same goes for the T/C brand of bullet/sabot (they keep changing the thickness of the sabots), Any of the pure lead conicals load easier than sabots, shoot well and are cheaper, may not perform as well on some game. Primers same order: CCI, Remington,Winchester, Do not buy Federal (they are way too hot and help to cause crud ring). Get a lot of patches for cleaning, Buy some Windex clear kind without amonia at the grocery store (works to clean most synthetic powders), Get a couple of brass brushes, cleaning jag, loading jag to fit bullet you decide on, Stronger and longer cleaning rod (one on rifle is too short to use easily, Pick up a range rod to load when shooting at the range as you need a longer stronger rod when shooting a lot. This is just a start but you said quick.
I also use the red (.50cal) speedloaders from T/C they work well for me. If using loose powder which I do the clear plastic tube things don't work with loose powder, neither do the speedloaders from CVA both are for pellets only.
