Don't waste your money or time. The only way it will work is if you have a barrel twist of 1:15 or 1:16. It just will not stabilize with a 1:28 or more twist ( Done all this testing with my 45cal Disc Elite)

IF you could get a SHORTER 150-170grain 358 spire point, it MIGHT stabilize, it's all about the Length at this cal. The PRBullet 45/357 cal Orange sabots(Made by MMP for PRBullet folks) are the strongest--AND longest sabots available.

But know this, the 200g SST/Shockwave can be pushed to 2450fps with 130gV=93.6gW of BH209 into a 1.5-2inch group at 120 yards
Do Not be mislead by other reports, This is a VERY tough bullet, and all the deer we have shot, go down like they were hit with a high power 30cal rifle
And so far we have only used 90g of BH209 with a speed of ONLY 1950fps...out to 150yards.

Lee is absolutly correct, when he says that the 200g Shockwave is best when fired with at LEAST 1950-2200fps...Because this bullet can take the speed, and deals out incredible penetration and Hydrostatic shock

Yea...I like this bullet[8D]
