Default Plastic Sabots in Bulk

New to the forum all........

I'm an old hat to muzzleloading, but new to the inline game.

For Xmas, my wife got me a CVA Kodiak, and although it's a nice gun, I've had past experiences with CVA that weren't all that great. After a thorough search of info and comparisons on inlines, I opted to take the gun back where she got it (with her blessings) and I ordered the TC Omega from Natchez.
I've had many many years experience with TC products and have really never been disappointed.

I ordered the SS/Hardwooods Omega, and with all the good write up's, both here and on other forums, I highly doubt I'll be disappointed.

The last combo I used to hunt with was a TC Renegade, patched roundballs, a hotshot nipple, and 90grs. of Pyrodex. Never used the pellets, but I've read they're encased in a black powder accellerant coating.
Randy Wakeman (BP writer) stated that they (Pyrodex pellets) were less powerful but more consistent than the Triple 7 pellets due to their added coating.
Triple 7, which doesn't have this BP coating, apparently ignites a little harder, and it's makeup is based on sugar. This might be the reason for the dirty "ring" residue that most speak of.
What I've heard from local hunters who use the T7 pellets is that they perform very well for them. Don't know here?????

What I'm really looking for is info from the Omega shooters in regards to purchasing bagged "bulk" sabots which I can shoot cast HP's in.
I cast many different styles of SWC's and HP bullets and I'd prefer to shoot them with a quality plastic sabot.
Also, info on Triple 7, Pyrodex pellets, and the much "hard to find" Mag powder will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
