ORIGINAL: Omegalover

So far the Blue Sabots look normal that we have picked up off the ground and looked at, they are still whole and just spread out like all the other sabots I have used. I have one, will post a pic when I go home ifkids dont havethe camera.

Although I haveonly ordered from them a few times, I have always had very good service from the folks at MMP, must be something going on.
They look normal withat least 100 grains of 777?????

If that's the case, the broken blue petals of the past must of been corrected.

That's good news - I need to try the improved blue ones.

The Blue Sabots look normal after firing using three pellets of T7, I didnt see any of them with any broken leafs or petals, whatever ya want to call them. They were all semi close together too.

I still have some that are three years-old. I expect to lose two petals upon every ignition with 100 grains 777. Somehow, accuracy remains very good.

I found after a lot of testing that my Omega likes 120 grains of T7 and the 120 reg. shockwaves but all guns are different so If I were you I'd test my own from 100 to 150 gr in 10 gr incriments and see which load your gun likes. Also if its new it could change once its broke in mine did.

My Omega also loves the 250gr Shockwave pushed by 120gr of loose T7 3f.

Two 50 grain pellets of Triple Se7en work great pushing a 250 grain TC Shockwave out to 150 yards in my Omega's and Encores. What I have found out about these easy to clean muzzleloaders is that the accuracy is very consistent if you clean it between shots. And that is also the breechplug. Triple 7 cleans wonderful with just water. And after a good dose of it the breechplug is easily cleaned and blown out with a can of air. If you are in a tree stand shooting you have at least 30 minute before you want to come down and track Mr. Deer anyway. I always carry a backup that will take care of Mr. Disgruntled Bear (only in a have to situation where I am on the menu). Within 30 minutes you can do a thorough cleaning of the Omega and be ready for business again!

Sorry for the delay and blurry pic but this is one of the blue sabots we shot using 3 pellets of T7 last weekend.

Thanks for the pic Omegalover. Like I stated earlier, older blue sabot would normally shed two petals wheneverreaching-out with bullet distances occured. Glad to see Del found a way to keep them on at production.
