Well I finally had a chance to spend a couple hours yesterday shooting the Omega I recentely purchased from big6x6 and I had a ball! I was shooting 777 both loose and pellets with 348 graing powerbelts. Shot mostly at 25 yd just trying to learn and getting acquainted with the new sport and the new rifle. The information I have learned here was such a big help.
Anyway with both 100 gr of pellets and 100gr of powder it seemed to shoot almost the same at 25 yds. I didn't move the sights or try to dial it in as I was just trying to learn how to shoot. I swabbed between shots with t/c pre soaked patches wich seemed to work well. Checked the breech plug after every 6-8 shots which I am happy to report I had absolutely no problems with it tightening up. And at the end of shooting I felt what I think was just a very minor "crud ring" which cleared out with just a few strokes with a patch and solvent.
All in All I rate my first outing big success and I can't wait to get back out there and try some more bullets and combinations. I also bought some 300 gr shockwaves which I didn't get a chance to shoot before it got dark.
Thanks to big6x6 and everyone else who has been kind enough to answer my newbie questions! :lol:
