I'm gonna stick with my 200 grain shockwaves for now because they fly really well. Does anyone have an idea at what distance my bullet will lose its effectiveness. I don't want to have a good shooting gun at 200yrds and the bullet not perform because of too little energy.
I think you are good for 200 yards. I just worry about the breakup of those blue sabot petals beyond that point using hot stuff like 777 and Swiss blackpowder. There comes a point where the petals comingoff will affect accuracy. If you want 250 yards, I would move up to the 250 gr. and it's black high-pressure sabot.... not that yellow one that's out now.
I know that black MMP or the regular Harvesters sabot will take all the powder pressures up-to 150 gr. loose.
