Wow 50 to 100 shots to break the gun in. Thanks dows the black horn come in pellets. I wanted to use pellets but with needing atleast 50 shots to break it in i might be alot better off and cheaper to go with the loose stuff.
There have been quite a few of us using and talking about the combination of Shock Wave 250 gr and the Short Black Harvester sabot with which any good reloading primer will work, I have heard that there is a bad lot of TC primers out doing a lot of misfires so I would avoid them until the problem is resolved. While some people are still using 777 the best results with this load are being produced by Blackhorn 209 most of the time.
Also realize that most TC guns require a break in of 50 to a 100 shots before they produce there best groups. If you are in a hurry for results at long range about 50 strokes with JB bore paste on a good tight patch replacing the bore paste about every 5 strokes will polish your bore.
Also 110-115 or 120 gr of Black horn depending on your particular gun and elevation will match up with your Omega BDC. Lee

Just a thought.. - why not shoot T7 out of it for the break-in shots? $30 for 16oz is way cheaper than $40 (or $25 on sale) for 10oz BH209.

Many TC guns have very rough bores. Use red jewlers rouge on cleaning patches to smooth the bore out. This makes the gun much easier to load and it may improve accuracy.
TC primers cost more than twice as much as plain old shotgun primers.
