Does anyone know if the T/C Shockwave is made by Hornady? They look exactly like the SST and FTX.

Hornady does make TC’s bullets. The SST’s and Shockwaves are the same bullet. But there in a different sabot. Hornady does make the Bonded Shockwaves special for TC. Hornady don’t have any Bonded SST’s.

I can’t think of the name of the Traditions bullets but I’m pretty sure Hornady makes thoughs too.

Tips are different too. The Traditions version is called the "Smackdown".

Hornady also makes the Whitetail Medicine in 300 grain for Ultimate Firearms Inc. Johnston Muzzleloader.

The Hornady has a soft tip, while the T/C has a harder plastic tip.

It is my understanding that both had the harder point tips to begin with then Hornady changed to the softer - more rounded tip so they could be used in tube fed rifles, like the lever action
