I shot up 25 of the new Shockwaves last weekend. They shoot the same as the other Shockwaves but wow do they load easy. Takes slightly more force then pushing down a wet patch. This will be true for you as long as you do as T/C suggests and that is to clean between shots. Swab the barrel with a wet patch and then a dry patch. My groups were within 2 inches at 150 meters (164 yards). I shoot an Encore with a Nikon scope.
