[QUOTE="TboneD, post: 3810272, member: 15160"] Hmmmm...well, the bases of the sabots were fine. Was the missing petals the reason for the flyers? I have no idea, but so far the best I can get from this TC is three shot groups of about 2.25" off a bench at 100yds. I've tried 245g (or maybe it was 250g) XTP's and 100 g of BH209, and that was the worst with about a 3" group at 100yds. I tried one of the 295g XTP's, but it was just too dang tight with the supplied sabots. The Barnes shot about the same as TC 250g Shockwaves in the EasyGlide sabots, but I don't want to use those since they're the bonded ones. So I guess I'll try backing off the powder a bit with the Barnes and maybe pick up some unbonded TC Easy Glide 250 Shockwaves. They sure do load the easiest. This is the first TC I've ever had, and as I've heard, it definitely has the tightest bore of any MZL I've ever had. Any other suggestions on what to try? I'm afraid that maybe part of the reason I'm having trouble is that the trigger is probably over 5lbs. If I confirm that, TC will take care of it, but it's a little late to send it off and have it back this season. [/QUOTE]
