Well guys, the objective viewpoint may eventually give some answers but I heard something that disturbed me on an other forum; if any of you have some info would you please share it.
According to what was said there has been a change in the Shock Waves they are supposed to have gone to a different plastic tip and thicker jacket and harder lead, now the ones I have were bought in large quantity for a couple dollars a box at an end of the year Walmart sale a couple years ago and the are almost to fragile are these newer ones going to be a problem ?

I cannot speak for the heavier weights but it would not hurt the 200gr bullet to be a tad tougher. I would not worry until I saw the results on them. If you feel yours are "almost too fragile", I would think you may welcome the change.
I would hope they actually announce when they incorporate these changes. I get irate when manufacturers change things and don't announce it (they did it to the sabots once, it affected POI for me).
