I have a stainless Omega but with the camo synthetic stock. I don't know how you guys shoot 777. I have tried both loose powder and pellets and the crud ring is so bad even with the .25ACP conversion I finally gave up and now only use APP or Black Mag3. If BM3 was a little more available and somewhat less expensive it would be the best powder out there. I hear they have another thing in development that will be released at the shot show in Las Vegas. Maybe pellets or sticks or something similar????? I still use the .25ACP conversion while hunting because it is easier to handle the brass when hands are cold. My fingers don't like the small 209 primers.
