300 gr sabots for Encore Endeaver

[tecumseh]

Been wanting to try some 300 gr sabots in my Encore and got a pack of TC shock waves with the super glide sabots and 290 gr Barnes T-EZ sabots. Anyone tried either in their rifles? I tried the Hornady FPB a couple years ago and couldn't get them to group at all.

I've had great luck with shockwaves and superglide sabots in a TC Omega, should do just as well in the encore. My TC seems to prefer the superglides, I use them with all 250 and 300 grain bullets in that rifle. Been running the 300's over 110 grains of BH209. Dont use barnes mz bullets anymore, had a completely bizaare experience with them a few years back, had to have been some cosmic fluke as I seem to be the only elk hunter on the planet who doesn't think they are the bomb. FWIW, most TC's don't have a very good reputation for shooting conicals very well, I couldn't get FPBs to fly worth a darn either.
