Update, all my local sporting goods store had in 45 cal. were a 30 pack of T/C super 45 XR 155 grain sabots and a15 pack of T/C 200 grain spire point shock wave sabots both with green sabots and both beyond their shelf life I presume. I didn't like the looks of either one of them but I wanted to try the 45 out. The powder choice was sparse also, settled on a pound of Hodgdon select pyrodex powder and CCI 209 primers. I cleaned the 45 up really good previously. with breech plug out I attempted to run each bullet though for fit and both were to tight to get through with just the ramrod so I fashioned a t-handle out of a 3-inch 10/32 bolt in a piece of wood dowel, even then it took both hands and all my might to get them through. I was a little discouraged but off to the gravel pit I went this past week. I shot 20 rounds of the 155 grain with 70 grains of the pyrodex. Discovered I had to wet swab and dry swab between each shot, I did try to load a second bullet twice and both got stuck and had to remove them, but I had to try and see what I was dealing with. I shot at 35 yds, 50,75 and 100yds. with a few scope adjustments I was pleased with the groups. Fast forward-ordered and received a Cabela's universal range rod which I am pleased with and 50 harvester light blue smooth and 50 light blue crushed rib sabots. Pushed both through with breech plug out, what a difference. They both feel right to me going down with the crushed rib being slightly easier. Will try those same bullets with the light blue sabots this week at some point. Also earlier this morning I ordered 50- 45 cal.- 225 grain lead sabots from No Excuses, I like Lead no matter what they say it does to your brain Haha, be it bird shot, buckshot, slugs or whatever. If they shoot well they will be my whitetail bullet, and I am going to get some BH 209 when I can get it, from what I have read the breech plug in the omega will ignite BH 209.
I like to keep things simple
Thank you all for your guidance/input - helped me a lot. TTYL
