wingbar,

Thought that might be the case, during regular rifle season, I hunted all season that way also. I have totally given up on hunting with centerfire, it is like I have done that forever so this new challenge of the ML has taken over. It use to be that I HAD to get an elk every year, but now it really is all about recreation and enjoying what I am doing.

I do not own and have not shot an Omega, but what I have read about them - it will do the job. Some people complain about the barrel being to tight to get sabots down. If that is the case with yours you might try these Nosler Sabots - they are slightly tinner than the Harvester and somewhat thinner than the MMP - HPH24 or the Hornady.

I agree with you on the BC of the pointed bullets - SST and etc. but I have rationalized that at the speed a ML bullet is traveling and the distances shot it is a wash-out so I keep on using the HP's and Partitions.

The No-Excuse Cayuagd posted is an excellent lead bullet and the numbers on it work out real well but, when it comes to shooting a 460 grain vs 300 grain - I'm taking the 300 flatter and a heck of a lot quicker to the target. Plus I really like the cutting that sharp copper does as it passes through tissue.

Again good luck...
