Default T/C and Hornady Bullets

Are T/C bullets manufactured by Hornady? I notice similarities between T/C xtp and Hornady xtp, and also the T/C shockwave and the Hornady sst.

Yes they are. All you need to do is buy Hornady .452 XTP's and a harvester black high pressure sabot and you should have the same load. The problem with the SST's is they do not sell them in bulk. I think they do that because everyone would be shooting them and not buying their sabot combinations.

I have real good luck shooting the SST's and XTP's out of my Black Diamond and my Staghorn. They are good bullets. I like the 300 grains and the 250 & 240 grain combinations. Accuracy is outstanding with them.

I like the price of the Hornady xtp/harvester sabots, bought in bulk. It's not quite like the other high tech, polymer filled bullets, but its good for 100+ yds I think.

I have had some excellent results with the Hornady 240 grain XTP's and the T/C mag express sabots. I was shooting them out of my Black Diamond which is scoped, off shooting sticks. This was the three shot group at 50 yards. Needless to say I was impressed.

cayugad,
Do you have any experience with the 200gr Shockwave bullers. I am currently shooting the PR Bullet "Dead centers" in 220gr. but am looking at the others. My friend is shootin the same ML'er as me and is having great results, but I want a second opinion.
Thanks,
Mark

No experience here with the 200 gr bullets. I've shot the 250 gr shockwaves out of my 50 cal Omega though.
