RE: Shockwave: Looking for more consistency
The reason for all the "different" Shockwaves on the market is because there are so many makes of rifles with such an inconsistancy in bore size. You basically have to try them until you find the one your rifle likes. Then stick with that make/model of Shockwave.
My Black Diamond XR loves the standard Shockwave. My Knights like the Hornady SST. All a matter of bore differences I am guessing.
