Default 250gr Shockwaves Packaging

Did the packaging on the 250gr Shockwaves change? It is lighter yellow and it claims that it now comes with better sabots. Obviously I'll be test firing them but what do you guys think, will the new sabats change the poi?

Thanks

Tom

Default RE: 250gr Shockwaves Packaging

T/C has changed the sabot and/or the composition a few times already. The only way to know how your POI changes is by shooting them - that's because the exact ML made right before yours (and) the one made right after yours - may not shoot the same as yours. That's the beauty of this sport.

If I'm going to guess, I would say the change is not significant & your shot groups may not alter more than an inch or two in either direction.

I shot the old Shockwaves in the black sabots and the new Super Glide in the yellow sabots. They shot about the same with the old Shockwaves shooting just a little tighter group. Both load easy in my rifle so there is not a problem which one I use.
