300 grain Knight Red Hots
Just bought a pack of 10 to try some time. Just wondering if any Omega owners use or have tried these bullets (Barnes)with the supplied sabots. I am curious in regards to accuracy, ease of loading, and what powder charge.

RE: 300 grain Knight Red Hots
I tried them a couple years ago. they shot great with 100 gr. of 777 or pyrodex. They shot low with APP. They loaded so hard in my Omega that i decided to use something else. But then again everything that isn't crush rib or super glide sabot loads hard . I think my Omega is just tighter than many.

Accuracy in great in my CVA Wolf with 100gr Pyrodex pellets and W209 primer with Crushed Rib sabots. 1 inch groups at 100 yards. I know you asked about them in a Omega but I just had to butt in....... Heres a pic of the Expander 300gr I recovered from my small buck last weekend.
