45 cal Omega

[xdmalder]

Have a chance to buy a 45 cal Omega. Serial number is in the 40,000 range. Black stock and stainless barrel. What would be a fair price to offer him?

 

[deermanok]

IDK, 3, 400 dollars?

 

[michiganmuzzy]

X2 $300-$400. Providing the bore is ok, no bad pitting.

 

[dbowling]

350 max for me.

 

[xdmalder]

Well picked it up for $190 out the door so I'm happy. Bore is flawless!

So what does everyone like to shoot in their 45. This would be the first 45 cal muzzleloader to me. Bullet to bore? Sabot? Brands?

Congratulations, that’s a Great Deal!
If your State allows Sabots
110 Grs of BH 209 by Volume
195 Gr Barnes Expander
Harvester Light Blue Smooth Sabot
Federal 209A Primer
I would Highly recommend getting a Bestill Bushing Breech Plug

Congrats on a good deal.
I have a 45 caliber rifle but I'm no help because mine's a round ball gun.

I'd shoot a full bore lead conical with 60-70gr of 3F powder.

If the QLA is aligned properly! If not you will have to use saboted bullet's.

Some guys were having success with full bore bullets with sub bases.

Question, where can .45 cal sub-bases be purchased?

 

[ElDiablo]

Haven’t heard of anyone making .45 sub bases. I’d be interested to know as well.

Gotta make your own. I cut the petals off of a sabot, try to keep it straight and flush

Extremely accurate and deadly in my 45 Omega.

63 weighed grains of either BH209 or T7 fffg granular with the blue sabot and the 200 grain XTP does it for me in my .45.
