Default shockwave super glides

i shot the new super glides (bonded)the other day out of my apex 50cal with 100grs of loose 777.the shockwaves were 250gr.i could only shoot at about 50 yards because i was in my backyard but i had 3 shots dead center all touching.i need to get to the range so i can shoot out to 100 yards but they should be right there.i shot a 200gr shockwave after the 3 superglides and wow what a difference in pushinng the bullet down the bore so much easier with the superglides 2 petal sabot and yes i spit patch between shots.the 200gr hit about 3/4 inch higher.i also went to the new winchester 777 primer this year and i could tell i didnt have a big crude ring when i patched the barrel like in the past.very excited to get in the woods here in mich on the ml opener.the apex is a great shooting gun for the money and a great looking gun.i have had a cva firebolt and a thompson black diamond in the past.very impressed with the apex.has anyone else shot the new superglides?

Default RE: shockwave super glides

I shot them in a number of my inlines. I was not really impressed with them enough to justify the increased price. I should note, my rifle do not load the Standard Shockwave all that bad, so to me, they are more of a gimmick. To someone with a hard loading rifle, they might be a life saver.
