Thanks everyone!
Well, I finally got to do some testing with my new omega yesterday and lets just say that I am very pleased.
After talking with Sabotloader , a while back, I decided to shoot the 250gr Gold dots. He also recommended that I try several kinds of sabots. Yesterday I shot several groups using the gold dot and different sabots. I was floored by the results. I had no idea that I would be able to get these kinds of groups.
Anyway,I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the site for all the valuable info. Sabotloader, semisane, lemoyne, cayugad, gleason, etc. I have read this forum for hours and hours and have learned from everyone. THANKS ALOT!
Attached is a pick of my best group from 100yds. 250gr. Gold dots, 2x50gr 777 pellets, mmp hph-24 sabots, and 777 primers.
Going back this afternoon to see if I can do it again!

Cayugad, I was shooting the mmp hph-24 sabots when I shot this group. I also tried the mmp 3-petals. With the 3-petals the first two shots were close and the third was about 1.5 inches to the right. I could have pulled it though. I don't shoot as much as I should.

Thanks... I just got in four packs of the HPH-24 and I have the Gold Dots, so I will have to play with my Black Diamond XR. They have similar barrels as your rifle. You sure can not argue with a group like that, and a deer would never stand a chance.

Well I couldn't replicate what I did yesterday. Call it luck, moon phase, star alignment, whatever. I guess it was just my day yesterday.
Its still shooting great, just not tearing holes. Thats ok though. I bet the deer won't be able to tell the difference
