I was just looking at the t/c shock wave and was wondering how you get them seated in your barrel with out crushing the very pointy tip ? is there trick ??

You need a jag with a hole in the end like the one barnes sells for potinted bullets.I use the plastic one that comes with the pression bullets.

I took my ML out yesterday and shot some 250 grain and 300 grain T/C Shockwaves. I used the CVA bullet starter that comes with about 8 differn' t tips for hollowpoints and plastic tip bullets.

I was very impressed with the 300 grain round. I was able to get a 3/4" 3 shot group at 100 yards with 80 grains of 777 FFG and the 300 grain Shockwave.
