I tried to load my Firestorm yesterday with the T/C Shock Wave Sabots and the Mag Express Sabots, but couldn't get either to go down the barrel. I had to punch both back out of the end of the barrel.

I was using the 50 cal. 240gr and 250gr loads. I tried my Powerbelts and they went right down.

Ram there is another topic concerning the hard loading of the T/C Shock Waves. Right now it's near the bottom of this page. Titled My frist experience with the Shock Waves sucked.Maybe you can find your answer there.

Those are .452 bullets with a thicker sabot. Go out and buy some .451 45/50 or .429 44/50 Nosler or Speer bulk bullets in 50 & 100 pks. Then buy a 50-pk of Harvester sabots. Others to buy are Harvester sabertooth bullets, Powerbelt bullets, Buffalo sabot/bullets, Hornady XTPs bulk in 429 or 451. These are sold fom 185-230 grains. Then there's Precision bullets (QTs & Dead Centers) at prbullet.com.

I had the same problem, so I went back to my Power Belts. The 240 Shockwave even broke my loader, so they are in my box at the bottem. I won't shott them again.
