I got the same exact gun.I went through lots of combos before finding this.
Hornady Xtp 38-180gr #6712 with 2 50 gr pyrodex pellets.I tried 3 pellets but it kicked so hard and had erradic groups.Cut back to 2.This combo is a tac driver with my Omega 45.

My Knight Disc likes a 200 grain SST on top of 110 loose T7, dunno what the TC would do....

well durr! 195 grain powerbelt and 150 grains of powder is a big time boo boo. Why would you even consider using such a small bullet? With a 195 grain powerbelt 60-70 grains powder Max. These new "Magnum" muzzleloaders really bite ya on the arse and they put into the minds of newbie's that 150 grains of powder is needed. All ive ever noticed is uncomfortable recoil and groups that opened up.

What kind of groups were you getting with the 195 grainer and 3 pellets? Im surprised they didnt come apart when they left the barrel

Try the Barnes MZ first, since it is the best bullet, the Gold Dot 2nd, the SST third and the XTP 4th.
100g of powder max. Loose is cheaper and ignites better and you can adjust it better.

If I have the information correct, you a shooting an 45 cal Omega???

I would totally agree with you on the use of Power Belts - even if you were to slow then them down and then the fact that I bought an Omega to speed things up...

I think if you were to shoot 10mm (40 cal) bullets the first round i would look at might be the 200 grain TC Shockwave. I personally probably would not shoot the SW but Hornady 10mm 200 grain XTP - I can afford to shoot targets and game with this bullet.

With a 110 grains of T7-2f I am shooting this bullet very acurately @ 2100 fps.

Barnes makes a 10mm 195 grain Expander MZ bullet that might also be a great bullet... These are not boattail so you can switch out the thicker sabots for a thinner MMP...

But if most of your shots are under 175 - I woulds still be using the 10mm 200 grain XTP's. Inexpensive great bullet...

Hey sabot good load!!

Just curious why you and many other guys choose the TC shockwave stamped packages over the straight up hornady's since they make them to start with??? I never have/would buy the TC ones due to more profits going to them and their BS marketing![&:]

I personally do not buy any packaged bullets - to expensive.... but the reasonI suggested the TC Shockwave - is because of the sabot they would come with - if you purchased an 200 grain SST it would likely come with a thicker sabot. If we could by either the SST or the SW in bulk without sabots I might try some but they are not available that way... but on the other hand the 10mil 200 grain XTP is available - that is the one I shoot...

Carpmaster

Thank you!

I havent really had any issues so I have never tried any "aftermarket sabots"....might try some with the new 50 when i get it, just cant make my mind up on which gun to buy!
