I bought my wife one of the Omega packs (rifle, bore cleaner, bullets with sabots, etc) for Christmas. We shot it today and the black sabot bullets included in the pack were extremely difficult to load. My wife couldn't start one and I had much difficulty getting one seated even for the first shot from a new barrel. The package stated these were "easy load" which was certainly not true. My wife is no weakling as she's hunted for over 10 years and drags out her own deer, hoists them up for field dressing, hauls them out herself, etc.
My wife called T/C who told her these sabots could be tight. T/C said we could send it back and they could check it but implied that she just wasn't up to using a black powder rife. Needless to say, we were not impressed with the customer service at T/C. Has anyone else had to put extreme effort forth to seat these black sabot bullets? We tried another brand of bullet/sabot she'd used in a Tradition with no problem seating but she was unable to start it in this Omega.
T/C said try their two petal sabot. My wife has researched these and found other people who think these are unsatisfactory due to low velocity, no expansion, no blood trail, etc. Has anyone tried these style sabots?
