I had the .40 Omega at my range today

[Ninering62]

I was using 200g .40 ShockWaves with a .030 veggie wad & 46g N110.
I was only using my 100yd target today.
My first group avg MV was 2843fps & the group was terrible.
I loaded up again with the same charge & bullet, omitted the wad. FTF’s
Loaded up again & back to the .030 veggie wads & shot the other 2 loads. The top pic shows shots 2&3 in the same hole. Top target ( 2” stick on )
Bottom target was with 47g N110. It is not impressive at all, it is what it is though.
The last 2 pics are also at 100yds & with the Omega, using N120 & .402 225g ST2P bullets @2908fps avg & two groups with 2 of the 3 in the same hole @100yds.
I’m just getting started with this gun. Lots more shooting & load development in the very near future.
I will play with the N110 & 200g SW’s for plinking but striving for well under MOA. For hunting I’m going to use N120 & the 225g ST2P bullets. I’ll get both bullets dialed in & then do my drop charts for them.
I have a lot of light 10mm bullets to play with & some 240g Fury OT’s to test too.
I haven’t shot any of them yet.
I think a 150g Berry’s round nose 10mm @3200fps should be fun too. Who knows how accurate it will be though. I will deff find out though.

Nice! Those 225 gr Furies in a HLBS continue to impress me.

Thanks bro, they are bullet to bore .402 225g Furys. But I totally agree, that bullet in a light blue sabot has impressed the heck out of many, including me. Its really cool shooting them BTB now & at over 2900fps too.

You gonna see how the Fury 225 and N110 play together?

No, I’d prefer to use the N120 with anything over 200g.
When 58g N120 is getting me over 2900fps with a 225g bullet & putting them in a hole at 200yds & no over pressure signs at all, what’s not to like.
I am going to see how the 195g Barnes Expanders shoot BTB with the N110 though. I’ll try some right out of the box & if they keyhole I’ll anneal a few & re test to see if they’ll obturate then. I’ll post the results of that when I do it.

Yep, if N120 is doing that well
