Need your help picking a new load for my Omega
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.

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.

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.

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.
