Hey all... this is my first post, and I'm glad to have found a place where I can find some good info .
So I bought my first muzzleloader a week or so ago...the.50 T/C Omega Z5, and I've taken it to the range twice. I set up on the 100 yd range right off the bat ... just to see what it could do "out of box" . I was using open sights with 100g 777 pellets , with 270g powerbelt aero tip platinum series bullets. I was VERY impressed, putting ten rounds in a nice 5 " group. I didn't even have to adjust the sights for that load.
However... next I tried the 5 sabbots that came with the gun and got a diaganal line from top left to bottom right. ugly !
by the way, I cleaned after every shot.
Next I shot the great plains hollow points 380g .... and I never hit the paper....have no clue where they were hitting.
So the big Q is... will I ever get good accuracy with my omega without having to spend around 2.00 a shot ? .... I mean , thats fine for hunting...but at the range thats a good chunk of change .
Thanks for any advice.....
