I just bought an omega.What is a good load for an omega.

my omega is not fussy at all, but here are some loads it likes, all pushed by 100-110 T7 ffg

.300 xtp, harvestor crushed rib
.300 gold dot, harvestor crushed rib
.290 barnes tmz, ez load sabot

my omega as well as my dad's and father in laws have tight bores so the ez load type sabot work best

good luck

OMEGA

Thanks for the info.Now I have a place to start.

My omega will not shoot tight groups with any of the crushrib sabots for some reason about 2.5" at best but most much worst. With very tight sabots it will shoot 1.5" 5 shot groups with 100 grs BH powder and the yellow sabot that comes with the barnes 285gr spitfire. My bore was very tight as well but after several hundred shots seems to load easier now I use to think I was going to break the rod loading some of the sabots but now they go down much easier! My gun likes the 250gr Shockwave as well. I use the standard w209 primer with the BH and have never had a hangfire. No blowback in my omega. Love the gun!

My Omega likes 105g BH209, Winchester 209 primer, crush rib sabot, 44 and 45 caliber partition, golddot, and xtp. You choose.

100g of BH209, 250g Shockwave, Harvester High Pressure EZ load sabot (aka Harvester Short Black), Fed209A primer. Consistent 1" groups at 100 yds in my dads Omega. 110g & 120g also shot well but 100g is a little easier on the shoulder and the wallet.
