I plan on shooting 250 gr shockwaves out of my omega using 777 powder. I was just curious if anyone else shoots this set up and what amount of powder you have had the best luck with.
Thanks

My Encore which has a similar barrel love 120g of loose (powder) T7 with the 250g Shockwave. All of my fast twist guns like the bullets with T7 from about 80g up to the 120g in the Encore.

I, in the past have really been happy happy with a 100 grains of T7-2F, but recently, well since march i have been using 110 grains and it is working well in all of the my inlines, Rem's - Omega - White - A&H.

The Omega and Encore were deisgned& developed with magnum powder charges of Pyrodex. It's no surprise that T/Cs love "up-to 150 grains" of powder. The bullet they relied on most in testingwas (cough-cough)... the subpar ballistic coefficient T/C 240 gr. Mag Sabot.

Up until this year that is the exact combination I was shooting and really like the accuracy and performance with it.

However, I decided that due to seeing the local dominate buck 3 times in the same place 185 yards away from my stand I need to have a load that will go a bit more distance.

We, my friend and I, have been experimenting with 3 Pellets of T7 and the 50Cal Sabot 40 Cal HornadyXTP combo.Dont know if I am satisfied with it yet, will let everyone know how things go.

That blue sabot may cause some inconsistences with 150 gr. I suggest the 45/50(240 XTP Mag) with the high pressure black sabot.

This is the combination I have been shooting since March - I am to cheap to buy the TC ShockWave or the SST so I buy boxes of 10mm 200 grain XTP's and Blue Sabots from MMP. I am shooting them with a 110 grains of T7-2f and the are performing great on paper. I have shot them to 150 yards with really good accuracy. @ 175 and beyond I need to start compensating for drop. I WILL take a whitetail with one this year - unless a nice buck shows up in fronto my scope during elk season.

I am not sure what Triple Seven is referring to about the failure of the blue sabot - but in all the shooting I have done - I have not seen it with the MMP sabots.

Good luck with the 200's - get back if drop one with it - I really want to know the results - unless I can beat you to it.

Does anybody know what is going on with MMP? I ordered 100 HPH24 balck sabots 3 weeks a go and since I have heard nothing from Del [I live about 70 miles away from him] I called when I could not get him I left a message but he never answered that either. Lee

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.

call the regular number and talk to Connie - she usually handles all the mailing. Sometimes orders do get misplaced - Del works hard at keeping everything simple.
