I've been shooting my TC Triumph every Saturday morning Ive shot the Shock waves with different sabots 1-1/2 to 2" groups shot parker 275 BE
held 1-1/4 groups with the red cruched rib sabot also shot PT Scorpion 300 gr held 1-1/4"group with supplied black crushed rib all with 110 gr of bh 209 I seem to have a loose barrel Ive had most bullets with sabots slide down very easy I took the breech plug out and found the Hornady .458 with a Red crushed rib to be very tight In the picture the shots are labeled 123 they are actually the 4th 5th and 6th shot taken this morning I used an alcohal swab between shots to cool the barrel
So it seems my gun favors the .458 bullet with the red crushed rib
I plan on shooting more with different componets just to find another combination I guess you call it an addiction
By the way all I shoot now is 100yds later I go to 200yds and see the results

Very good shooting.
I have a problem with the heat here it has been 105 for a high, several days in a row; the gun heats in one shot and it is difficult to get it cool enough to hold a group. So I need to askk are you using the alcohol to cool the gun if so what is the procedure? Lee

Fine shooting.

When I shot it was in the morning Temp was about 72 degrees What I did was shoot then ran an alchohol swab down the barrel let it dry a few minutes the I ran a dry patch down When I got to shot #5 and 6 I ran two alcohol swabs down then followed with a dry patch after waiting a little
Theres nothing more frustrating then shooting in the heat I also found that the harvester sabots tolerate the heat better then the MMP sabots
hope this helps

Windy,

Try shooting a box of the T/C shockwave 200 gr bullets....less bullet drop and they "Kill" just as well as any 250 gr bullet.
