Cabelas is the place to shop for Omega bullets. You can purchase the T/C Shockwaves 250s there - but I like to swap the T/C plastic sabot for the easier loading Harvester sabots ... also at Cabelas. I use 105 gr. 777 & I'm around 10" low at 200.

That same store sells 220 gr. Dead Center bullets & 215 gr. Extended Range bullets that are very coefficient & load easy. Try around 95 grains 777 for 200 yard loads.

Cabelas also sells the Buffalo S.S.B's 325 grain bullets. They are the utmost in deer devastation & also load easy in the Omega. I use 110 grains here. These bullets are easier to find thereby clicking on the multi no-name muzzleloading bullets link there. I think it's the same one for roundballs.

Click Hunting afterwards on the left... then scroll down to muzzleloader sabots.

200 yard shots.. I would personally get some 200 grain T/C Shockwaves. They come with their own blue sabot in the box.Start out at 100 grains and work towards 120 grains of loose Pyrodex powder under them and I think you will more then pleased with them. You might also want to look at the 250 grain Shockwaves which would also be fine, but the 200 grain should do the job if you put that in the right place....
