Sounds like you're asking about sabot/bullet combos, but I like Hornady FPBs. They come in 300 and 350 gr weights. One may shoot for you, and I like not needing a sabot. Takes a variable out of the system. Some guys say their T/Cs have tight bores and they can't load FPBs. Pre-sizing the bullets by pushing them nose-first down the muzzle and out the breech end may solve this.

I am interested as well. I sighted mine in with two Pyrodex pellets (100 gr total) and 250 gr Hornday SSTs. It does ok, but not nearly as well as my Knight Revolution with the same powder and bullets. It is a hunting gun for me, so I don't care too much about getting the tightest groups, but would like to improve it if I can.

I have an Endeavor, which is a pro hunter with recoil reduction. The most accurate bullets are the Shock Waves and the FTX the 250 gr and the 50/40 200 gr are the best the Lehigh are just as good and while the Gold Dot or Deep Curl are not quite as consistently accurate I do often get around a minute of angle with them and they are super on deer and boar.
