Default RE: Decisions: Omega vs other guns

Thanks for the replies. I went with the Stainless / Synthetic Omega. Haven't shot yet but was thinking of trying with Powerbelt 295s and 2 triple 7 pelets to start. Found some good info on starting points on Chuckhawks.

What is the benefit of hollow points? From what I have read they are designed NOT to exit the animal. If muzzleloaders don't have the "shock" or knockdown power of say an 30.06 and the animal may travel a little longer after impact I would think a .50+" exit wound would leave a nice blood trail to follow. What is wrong with 2 holes?
