I have been to the range these past 4 weekends getting a better feel for my Omega and working up a new load. I think I am almost there. Having moved to loose powder the 110-120 gr of T7 under a 250 Shock wave seems to produce the most consistent results. I like to test around this time of year as the temperature is close to that during the time and place I hunt in November.
However, after running all these test on different loads two things have become apparent.
1) The lack of a break action on my Omega makes reloading and removing the spent primer difficult.
2) The breechplug seems to foul very quickly and requires me to remove it to clean the hard carbon from the fire channel using a 1/8 drill bit.
Question:
I am now seeing the shortcomings of my Omega. I think it might be time to move up to another TC. Is the Triumph the next logical step for me, or are there other options to be considered?
Many thanks!
