To MLKeith: I agree with you about the sabots. The problem is I tried the Black, Orange, an Green, along with other projectiles, same problem. I could not get the second shot in. I shot Triple 7 and BP. I will admit I did not try Pyrodex. I had a real dilema, the rifle would shoot at or under 2 inches at 200 yards(obviously not the problem), but loading the next shot was unreliable. My friends sure laughed at me when I had to carry all my cleaning equipment in the field, just to load a second shot. I went back to shooting a Knight, same accuracy, easy loading, less money, now all I need to carry is a disk. But that is another story. Tom.

I went through all the same cycles to try to get a second shot off. First I tried Tripple Seven. Crud ring was so bad I stuck the second bullet/sabot about two inches off the powder charge. When I finally pulled the breechplug and knocked the bullet out it took a brass brush to get the crud out. Next I tried Pyrodex select ffg. No posibility of a second shot without a wet swab and then a dry one. After several other blind alley attempts (mostly with different primers including the .25ACP conversion; I finally spent the money for four pounds of Black Mag'3. My Omega loves the stuff. Higher velocity than 777 for same charge, less perceived recoil, less than one minute of angle at 100 yards (most of the time). and three to four shots in a row without a swab between. Killed my last elk with 90gr. Black Mag'3 under a 300gr. Hornady bullet. Some Omega rifles can be very picky. Mine is OK now but I can understand how someone might have given up before finding a solution.

I really like my Black Diamonds. Got rid of an Encore because I liked the BD better. If you can find one you should check them out.
