They're good rifles but the 209 doesn't seal the breechplug and so you get residue in the little "action". I'm using a 25 ACP breechplug which eliminates that residue. www.prbullet.com/hornet.htmBy the way, I don't buy the accuracy improvement he talks about. It does make the gun cleaner though. |

Just FYI, with the discusion of the proposed reg change regarding muzzleloaders. The 25 ACP case acts like a Disc in a Disc rifle. The powder still has to be loaded from the muzzle and there's no way to load it from the breech. It's just a substitute priming system. You also might want to check with a conservation officer to be sure of legality. I know it's legal here in Illinois as I have checked with two different CO's and both say the same thing.

You lose velocity and penetration with lead bullets. As far as I know you can order them directly. This is another seller of those bullets. www.bpbullets.com/ |

I bought my Omega and I love it. Hey grappledad...I'm an Omega fan also. I've had two and they have both been great. The only reason I sold my first one and purchased the second one is because I wanted the camo/stainless model. It is accurate, consistant, and easy to clean. |
