Loading Shockwaves

Re: Loading Shockwaves

Seems like a real waste, but the only way to keep either

SST's or ShockWaves consistent is to discard the sabots

and use MMP sabots. Sure will be glad when both

Hornady and T/C quit changing sabots -- but even then,

it's no telling how long it will take the oldest, older, etc.,

sabots to be depleted in the system. Until then, I'll be

buying the newest MMP sabots.

Re: Loading Shockwaves

I wish it was that easy slayer ! My Encore loves powerbelts, but my buddies Omega doesn't crazy.gif

He was going to pick up some shockwaves today and try them. I think because of different bore diameters, some just load great and others are a bugger to load. I will hear about his Omega real soon on how the shockwaves went.

That's funny, i'm almost positve the encore barrel and the omega barrel are the same.........breech plugs are interchangeable.

Yep, that just goes to show how great crazy.gif T/C's quality control is. Actually, its not only T/C, its most ML makers. There is a range of acceptable bore diameters even in the same model gun.

Re: Loading Shockwaves

Personaly I could care less if they load hard or not. As long as what I put in the ML shoots accurately and makes me confident.

The shock waves are the only load that has done that for me in many years out of my ML. (50 cal. Remington 700ML)

BTW will the oils in bore butter leach into the powder/pellets if left to sit long?

Like a week or more?

Just wondering...

I have a buddy who shoots the rem. 700 ML he had the same problem as you, he switched to shockwaves and walla, gun is a shooter all of a sudden.
