What kind of range are you hoping to achieve? Every muzzleloader shoots a little different so, it kinda depends on what your gun likes. I have a TC that likes 150 grains of powder and 260 grain Power Belts and another that likes 100 grains of power and 200 grain T/C Game Shock. If I had to pick a gun for bear I'd chose the one that likes the heaver bullet. I would try to work up a heavy load and see what your gun likes to shoot. Is your Omega a Mag? Just don't try to go over 100 grains of powder if it isn't a Magnum. Hope this helps.
