I've fought trying to get any Powerbelt to shoot worth a damn out of my Omega for 2 years now. Thought I had it but after missing a deer @ 35 yards I've had it with them. They just won't shoot consistantly. I'm now looking for a new bullet. So anybody please let me know what bullet and powder charge you are getting to group well with your Omega.

If'n you can get there let me know and I'll try to copy some of it over here...

sounds like a QLA problem as usual.

try a 250gr xtp in a black short mmp-24 sabot. 275gr parker hydracon in a mmp-12 sabot. 100gr powder * i use pyrodex rs)

Try a 250 or 300 gr Shockwave with a Harvester short black sabot and 100 - 120 gr. of the powder of your choice. I have had great results with this load out of my Omega. You could also try a 300 gr .430 Hornady XTP with a Harvester Green Crush Rib sabot. I have heard good things about this load and the Omega. I have some but I haven't had the chance to try them yet. One of these loads should shoot very well in your gun. I think you will be much happier with one of these than you were with the powerbelts. Much better bullets.

Thanks for the link, yes it worked for me. I'm a member over there too. Nosler's are working for you. I've heard alot of good things about them.

ok, call me stupid, but what is a QLA problem?[&:]

tc often has QLA issues where they drill them off center or something and they puke when it comes to shooting conicals. The QLA is the unbored end of your barrel.

I could load marbles or rocks from my drivewayin my Omega and be happier than I was with the Powerbelts...seriously they just plain sucked out of my TC. Shot the Powerbelts's fine out of my Traditions, CVA, and NEF muzzleloaders, but they wouldn't group in my Omega.

Thanks for clearing that up for me...I'm a bowhunter mainly, but I've been shooting a muzzleloader for a few years now. Still got alot to learn in regards to muzzleloaders.

Since you can get on over there you might check this thread also... The new SST/SW's might have a problem. I do not shoot them so i really do not know.

As another suggestion if you would prefer a less expensive bullet and a bullet you can afford to shoot at paper, check out the Speer Gold Dots. the .452/250 grain GD is a great performer on whitetail, and the .452/300 will work as well with a higher BC.
