Default Want to share some good Info on the Omega from TC Arms Co.

I spoke with a guy at TC Arms this morning who is a tech specialist and he shared some good info I would like to pass on. By the way, I ordered an Omega and scope this AM.

As you can imagine TC does lots of testing at their facility with the various models produced. They have found the 250gr Shockwave with 3 50gr pyrodex pellets to be the most accurate. The Shockwave is actually produced by Hornady and is called the SST by Hornady and branded as the Shockwave (with a yellow tip) by TC. I was suprised to hear 3 pellets and told him that from what I had read most guys use 2. He said 2 is OK but 3 is better, and the gun is built to shoot 3 50gr pellets or 150gr powder.

Anyway, here are some trajectory numbers he gave me for the 250gr Shockwave with 3 50gr pyrodex pellets: Sighting 0 at 50yds = 0.4" low at 100yds AND 9.5" low at 200 yds. Sighting 0 at 200yds = 2.4" high at 50 yds,.. 4.3"high at 100yds,.. 3.7" high at 150" (the bullet starts dropping at ~150yds),.. 2.3"high at 175yds.
