Chuck,
Well, since you bought (at least) one example of every single muzzleloader I recommended on the videotapes (you missed only one), I must be doing something right! :lol: :lol: :lol:
It does go to show that the manufacturers do need to do a far better job explaining how to get the most out of their products, as many questions as remain after folks get their new muzzleloaders. That actually was part of the motivation for doing the videos in the first place, as most of the guns tested (and other items) did not even exist four or five years ago.
The Fadala, McMurchy, and Lyman books are all "must-haves" as far as I'm concerned, at least for those who have more than a casual interest in muzzleloading. Toby Bridges has a new book out soon, that is likely to be the most topical. As far as "obsolete" just because an Omega, brand of powder, or specific bullet is not mentioned-- that hardly changes things.
With the Omega, really-- how easy can it get, and what is there that really needs to be said about it other than lube your breech plug and clean your barrel? As much as we might try to complicate a muzzleloading rifle, it is still a just barrel with a touch hole of some sort attached to a hunk of plywood or plastic.
