Default Super glide Shock Waves or Platinum power belts?

Has anyone done any testing on them yet?

One good thing I can see coming out of this is the price of regular shockwaves going down. Now I can have my cake and eat it too.

I wonder if those new Superglide Shockwaves are a replacement to the present ones That new 2-petal sabot is interesting also. I just finished with my new 3-petals -- now there's 2. What's next.... 1

I also noticed the new Platinum Powerbelts have a snap-on base. I wonder how many of these bad-boys will be following the bullet -- all the way to the intended target

Was there a problem with three petals? Every SW sabot I've ever picked up after firing my Encore has the petals expanded out very even and consitantly so.

I have been trying to dig up some info .
So far I am told the lead is harder in the power belts they wont say how much harder.
The new sabot is supposed to load slicker??? and hold up better to the smokeless loads that are becoming popular.
I will see if I can pick some up the next time I go to MI or TN.Lee

Flying Ferris,I do not think so ; I have not seen any complaints on any of the forums. The new one appears to be a design advance aimed at the Savage of course if it works for the one with the most pressure it will likly work in any that it fits well in. Lee

Gotcha. Maybe the super glide will engage the rifling better on my encore at higher loose 777 loads. I've found accuracy really degrades with 200 grain SW over 110 grains of 3x 777. Could mean some more experimentation time.
