I HAVE USED THE POWERBELTS, TRIED TO FIND ONE
THAT WOULD GROUP IN MY kNIGHT 50CAL. JUST
COULD NOT FIND ONE THAT WOULD HIT A 4X4 PIECE
OF PLYWOOD AT 50YDS. YES THEY WILL LOAD EASY.
THIS PAST YEAR I TOOK A 178LB. FIVE POINT WITH
MY BEARTOOTH MAGNUM IN 45CAL. IT IS DEADLY
ACCURATE OUT TO APPROX. 100 YDS. I SHOT THIS
BUCK AT 40YDS HEAVY TIMBER, BEHIND THE SHOULDER
HE RAN FULL OUT FOR 75YDS. THEN FELL INTO A
DEEP GULLY. THE ONLY WAY I LNEW FOR SURE HE
WENT DOWN IS I HEARD HIM TUMBLING DOWN IN
THE LEAVES. GOT LUCKY AND FOUND HIM.
BEHIND THE SHOULDER THE ENTRANCE HOLE WAS
ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MARBLE COULD NOT REALLY
FIND THE EXIT. THIS BUCK RAN FOR 75YDS LEFT
NO BLOOD TRAIL, WHEN I FOUND HIM HE WAS UP
AGAINST A TREE ENTRANCE HOLE FACING UP, BUT
NO BLOOD COMING FROM THE HOLE. THIS PAST
WEEKEND I TRIED SOME 50CAL. HOLLOWPOINTS IN
MY NEW OMEGA, THEY LOADED EASY BUT THE ACCURACY
WASN'T VERY GOOD. SO I GUESS IF THE PB'S WORK
FOR YOU, AND YOU DON'T MIND THE COST, THEN
YOU PPROBABLY LIKE THEM. I AM SURE THAT THE
TC 250GR. SHOCKWAVES WILL BE MY LOAD FOR
WHITETAIL. JUST FOR INFO. I'M 59 YEARS OLD AND
STARTED HUNTING WITH MY DAD WHEN I WAS 9.
MY FIRST ML. WAS AND OLD KY. LONG RIFLE KIT
FROM DIXIE GUNWORKS. I REALLY THINK THAT WE
ALL BECOME A PART OF OUR FAVORITE ML. AND THAT
OUR FAVORITE ML IN TURN BECOMES A PART OF US.
THE BEST LOAD FOR YOUR ML. IS THAT ONE THAT
YOU HAVE SHOT MANY TIMES AT THE RANGE AND
THAT YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE IN. JUST MY OPNION.
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE PICTURES OF ANY
DEER TAKEN WITH THE TC SHOCKWAVES.
GOOD LUCK......GOOD HUNTING.......GOD BLESS
