You probably want to go with the normal (non bonded) shockwave - IIRC the bonded may not expand on deer..

In case you didnt know (and from what I read in several places online and I assume it is correct) the 250 gr .45 Shockwave is the same as the Hornady FXT (flex tip/leverevolution) bullet (product # 45201)..

You can buy them for about $26/50 and sabots are about $9/50 = $0.75/shot which is about $11/15 and shockwaves are about $1/shot

I am shooting 90 gr of BlackMag 3, Hornady XTP (45 cal, .452), and MMP ez load sabots.. I tried the TC super glide load sabots last yr and they were very ez to load- the MMP's are much tighter in my Triumph..
