SuperMag Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Im shooting 200 grains of pyrodex pellets behind a 250 grain hornady SST sabot out of my Rem ultimate ML. The reason being it shoots noticeably better with 200 grains of powder vs 150 or less. I haven't gotten to experiment with different powder/bullets as i had hoped to, but i did buy some blackhorn 209 and plan on working up a load in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbuff Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Please be careful in that RUM, to my knowledge Remington has stated that BH209 is NOT an approved propellant . Only pellets are approved ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have a Triumph. I used to shoot Shockwaves but I didn't like how them performed on game. I'm shooting a Hornady Monoflex now, which is supposed to perform like the Barnes bullets. My Triumph shoots them very accurately with 110 grains of BH209 and Federal 209A primers. I have not had the chance to shoot a deer with the Monoflex yet. The reviews online seem positive.I always had good luck with the shockwaves. I switched to 250gr. Hornady Monoflex 5-6 years ago and they're awesome! I killed 3 doe in a half hour a few years ago with them.Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 I shot off a "Bench" with my Omega and Triumph with Triple 7 pellets and 250 gr shockwaves a couple years ago at a range of 225 yrds. I was happy with the roughly 3" group they both held. They are very accurate IMO.. And if anyone has ever noticed what they do to lungs when they rip through them.. know why they are called shockwaves lol. Impressive, just small hole in small hole out.

Core Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 CVA Wolf with 4 * 30 gr 777 pellets for 120 total shooting 250 gr TC Shockwave/Hornady SST. Best group I've had is sub 1" @ 100 yards with 3, though if I'm honest normally I'd say it's a couple of inches. I tried the hornady hunter mushroom ones with the black sabot and they just weren't that accurate for me. I've not tried any other charges or any other than those two bullets because the 120 pellets plus shockwave are so good I've not felt the need. Have yet to even see a deer while hunting with this rig because all the deer at any place I hunt disappear the day after gun season starts.

cdmckane Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 My load of a .452 300-grain Hornady XTP in a black MMP sabot on top of 100 grains by volume of 777 loose powder and a CCI 209 primer has 4 deer in my freezer so far this season. I prefer the XTP pistol bullet over "dedicated" ML bullets since it just seems to work better in my TC Pro Hunter FX. I've tried the ShockWaves (repackaged Hornady SST's), SSTs, Powerbelts, and Conicals. This load just seems to be accurate and lethal. I don't ever plan on changing it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhuntandfish Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 245 grain power belt with 100 grains of 777. Worked well on my muzzleloader deer this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Tc shockwaves. 250 grain. Holy crud , doe I shot this year couldn’t have had any blood left. Entrance hole wasn’t huge but a huge chunk of lung got pushed through it. Daughter thought that was neat. Walking up to her looked like an axe murder scene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
