Be prepared for the haz mat fee to sting. If you place an order with couple/few other people, you can split the haz mat fee and minimize the suck factor.

Geez, I assumed so. I think that’s the same site I ordered from last year, but maybe not. I ordered directly from the manufacturer.

EDIT. This is the site I ordered from! https://shop.hodgdon.com/blackhorn-209/

Yeh the red flag for me was the price and that it showed both sizes in stock..

Too many fake sites out there

I removed the link from any posts it was in to ensure no one goes there.  Definitely looked like a scam.

Doesnt that crush the polymer tips on the bullets?

That's all I use is the threaded hole against the polymer tip . The bullets slide so easy down the bore ,it's never screwed any up that over seen.

What bullet/sabot combo are you using?

300g Shockwave, my plan is to use something lighter in the future though.

Sighted in my new Optima V2 on Saturday.  After reading this thread I took the scope mount off and gave the barrel a good degreasing scrub before reinstalling it. Overall, I was pretty happy with the performance using 100 gr 777 pellets and the 250 gr Hornady SST sabots.

for what it's worth my TC Prohunter I have to use a jag as the 250gr TC shockwaves with yellow sabots fit tight enough. i currently use the hornady 250gr SST low drag (red sabots with no built in pellet stick tail) and they fit loose enough I don't have trouble pushing them down with just the rod. every gun is slightly different though.
