Default Tried The 200 Grain Shockwave Today

The gun is my TC .50 caliber Black Diamond. Years ago i worked up loads for the 250 grain SST and the 200 grain Shockwave that shot into the same group at 100 yards. But i forgot the powder load used for the 200 grain Shockwave.

Today i fired a three shot group at 100 yards using the 200 grain Shockwave, the blue sabot and 100 grains of Black MZ powder. The gun loaded very hard. The group was centered about 1.5 inches to the right of three shot groups made by the 250 grain SST and the same powder load. Group measured about 2.5 inches. Not too shabby considering the 20 mph wind in my face.

A member here suggested i try the 200 grain Shockwave bullet on hogs. The gun will be cleaned and loaded for hog hunting tomorrow.

Also shot a three shot group using the 225 grain .429 Barnes XPB and 100 grains of Black MZ. The group was nice; about 2 inches. But the the group was much too high.
