Default Hornady SST = T/C Shockwave?

Hey All, Just wondering if anybody knows if the T/C Shockwave 250 is the same bullet as the Hornady SST 250? They look the same and I believe Hornady has made bullets for T/C in the past. Local Wally World has the Shockwave but no SST.
Also anybody have any experience shooting them out of an Encore? I' m looking for something that will perform a little better past 100yds.

Ive had good luck with the Barnes MZ 250 but I' m sick of the high cost. $1.10 a bullet plus powder gets pretty expensive for practice and range work.

Thanks...

Excellent, just what I was hoping. I' d rather buy the SST' s because you get 20/box instead of 15 for about the same price but I can buy Shockwaves local in a pinch. Didnt want to travel for them just to find out they may not shoot well either.

If they shoot well for me, I can get the SST' s through a buddy for under $7 per 20rd box. Much better than $11 for 10 Barnes bullets.
Now if I switch to loose powder instead of pellets I might actually be able to afford to shoot this dang thing.

Thanks fellas.....
