.40 cal TC shockwave vs .40 cal Hornady FTX

[GM54-120]

Show me a picture of a blue saboted bullet anywhere on that site.

There you go. Direct link right off the T/C website although it is listed in the wrong area.

If this was mentioned I am sorry, but i have always read that the yellow tip shockwave is not bonded and the blue tip is bonded. Is that true?

Ok, found it in the Bonded Shockwaves section, which it is not a bonded bullet. Please excuse me for not looking in the totally wrong section. And that doesn't give you a choice of a 200 grain bullet in the drop down menu. This just further enforces my "T/C website is a mess" statement. Here is a link to the page, not just the two out of place pictures. Pics 6 & 7.

Now show me where it lists the caliber of bullet, with the correct saboted bullet pictured in the same correct link. It ain't happening. :lol:


I did find your earlier pic at EABCO, but they are OUT OF STOCK. It's the only place I found with the correct pic, even though it doesn't mention the bullet caliber in the description.

The bullets and sabots i have are for a .45 . I am just taking the .40 cal bullet and putting it in a 50/40 cal Dead Center or 50/40 Harvester sabot.

Busta that last link you showed are those 200 grain .45 or .40 cal bullets for a .50 cal muzzleloader ?

After what I've seen today, who knows? The blue sabots are .50/.40, but it says they are out of stock at EABCO.

I'm starting to think the MidSouth description is wrong with the .45 caliber 200 grain bullets. Unless they are going to be something new for 2019? Sure don't need a fat .45 caliber 200 grain bullet with a horable sub .200 BC, when they have a .40 caliber 200 grain with a good .265 BC.

I use the 200gr shockwaves (yellow tip) with the green sabots. I bought some early this year from a gun store, I can't imagine they are super old. They have shot VERY well for me in my .45 Elite. like sub 3/4 MOA out to 150. I have not shot a deer with them though so I can't comment on that. Over the years I've seen a good bit of positive reviews on their terminal performance.

Bloodline bullets work very well, most go down in short order. I wouldn't hesitate to use them. I had a big doe this year run 125yds after being hit through 1 lung, top of heart, and liver. I was totally amazed she went that far, especially given the shot placement and massive blood trail.
