because TRIUMPH is slightly ahead of it's time

Thanks to everyone for their input...he just ordered a Triumph. I'm sure the BH209, short black combo will serve him well.

While the Triumph and the Omega are equally accurate [I have both] I would recommend the Triumph, for these reasons,
#1 when hunting I can put a primer on the Triumph with gloves on but even with out the gloves it is better to use a horizontal capper with the Omega.
#2 The blow back is non existent on my Triumph while the Omega has just enough to make cleaning more of a problem.
#3 When you set up right you can clean the Triumph in 3 to 4 minutes because of the breach plug being finger removeable and no blow back, The difference is there with all powders but I would note here that the triumph is the gun to use the new Blackhorn powder in they are a very special combination.
If you come up with a Triumph the accuracy load for it is 110or 120 gr BH209 with a short black Harvester sabot and a 250 gr Shock Wave.
