Triumph .50
 

Ok, so I'm shooting my Triumph .50 w/ the Shockwave 250gr Bullet. I really like the groups I can produce @ 100yds. My only gripe is the Sabot from T/C is terrible (by terrible I mean, excessive force nessasary) to load, I don't know if i'm going to damage anything if I continue to shoot this Sabot, but Do any of you guys shoot a triumph and have the same problems, or Do need to start buying a different Sabot?

Thanks for the help!

I have the Triumph and I tried two differnt rounds both 250gr., the first one was the Shockwave Superglide (yellow sabot) loaded easy grouped good, then I tried the Barns Spit-Fire T-EZ (blue sabot) not only did they loaded easier but they grouped better

See, I shoot the same sabot (superglide yellow) and loading is super tough, but the groups are great, is the Spit-Fire T-EZ a small sabot?

May want to check into a Harvester Crush Rib sabot. I am shooting the 200 gr. Shockwaves and the stock sabots were very hard to load even worse on a second shot. I switched to a Crush Rib .50/40 and they load much easier.

Are you still shooting a 200gr. .50 Shockwave from a Crush Rib .50/40, or did you switch bullets? or is it a .45 Shockwave?

chammons, here is the link to the Barnes:

Thanks friend, I'll give those a try as well along with the shockwave + harvester combo, see which one will work with my Triumph.

Chammons, if the gun is not been shot much it may well be it is not broke in. Some one may disagree with this but TC barrels often need break in as far as I am concerned only a few have the polish needed to load smooth to start with.
If you feel it has been well broke in then try a Crush Rid sabot and see if it will group if that work you just have a tight barrel. If its not well broke in you could assist the process by 50 to 100 strokes with a tight patch with a coating of JB bore paste adding a bit about every 3 strokes and changing the patch as needed , be sure to take full length strokes.

It hasn't been shot much maybe, 20 shots.. I just bought it this spring before the season started, I went from a T/C Thunderhawk to the Triumph because, I got a good deal on the Triumph. I've purchased some Crush Rib Sabots already so, I'm gonna send some rounds down range and see what happens!
