    Default T\\C encore- shockwave

    So has anyone found a way to make loading the shockwaves easier. Like using bore-butter or anything. It takes a jackhammer to load them.

    I use the shockwaves and I don't have any problems loading them. Do you run a wet patch in between shots? I do a wet and dry patch after every shot. Loads easy every time.

    They do seem tougher but I use a ball starter and a cloth to protect my palm and usually I can push the shockwaves down much easier. My Knight and sabets did seem to load eaiser.

    Also make sure to remove your old primer first.

    You know i shot my T\C last night and it is only hard the first like 4 inches, after that i can push it down with one finger.

    I am 2 inches high at 100 so i should be just about on at 200.

    I have the same trouble with sockwaves
    Try hornady 250 sst they load much easyer.

    Same here.
    Spit patch and dry patch and no issues at all.
    I sometimes skip the spit patch/dry patch between shots and still have no problems.

    I have been hearing this more and more too and dont understand why. I have used them in a couple different MLs too.
    With the accuracy I get out of them I would not care how tough it was. LOL

    same here... i shot shockwaves a few years ago, and they were extrememly accurate. then for some reason i switched to powerbelts. i couldnt hit the paper at 100 yds. this year with my new gun i shot them both and my gun loves those sockwaves!. and they make a super glide bullet that shoots virtually the same and are really easy to load.
