The Hornady sst is the same bullet, different tip

Seems like about every sporting goods store I walk into has the TC non-bonded 250s. Have you tried Sportsmans Warehouse?

As Picketpuncher says, they are a Hornady SST.

I shoot the yellow/black 250 grain combo exclusively in my TC Pro Hunter. As far as I know, the 'blue' bonded bullets are well, harder/bonded. I have shot the red tipped Hornady bullets for practice. Definitely have to put them in a black sabot with my gun for better groups. I believe the red/SST are softer than the yellow tips. You may need to buy the specific sabot that is best in your gun because all of these come with a variety of sabot.

All the whitetail I have shot with or friends have shot with the yellow/black combo have been pass-thru shots without much expansion at all unless hitting ribs or shoulders and I try to double-lung and avoid bone when I can.

I bought a couple packs in 2021 when I found them in-stock. Can't remember where now but if I do see them on the shelf, I will buy a box or two.

Here is some background that might be accurate: ML.com

Ox-Yoke has 200 and 300 grain on hand: Ox-Yoke
Sportsman's has the 300 grain: Sportsman's

You can also look at the Hornady SST Low-Drag or the Traditions Smackdown... all about the same bullet but you'll have to dig for the weight you want. I would be the Traditions are the most similar to the TC versions while the SST is well, an SST and you might get more messiness.

Thanks all the info

You might consider the Hornady .452 ftx 250 gr bullet with bulk sabots. That bullet is for the 450 Bushmaster which should be around 2200fps. I use the .458 Monoflex 250 gr with Harvester sabots. I prefer buying bulk instead of the 15-20 packs.

The “pick up in store” option only shows a couple stores in Alaska with inventory. Hard to believe that’s correct…

As I said I my post above, I see them frequently in Sportsmans (and Bass Pros).

Showing out of stock in Fredericksburg, but I’d call them and ask.

Or could ship to home? Unless its not giving you that option

Yeah - that’s not an option for some reason.

Super weird, it eventually kicked them out my cart as well. I was just in the Anchorage store a couple weeks ago and actually saw shockwaves on the shelf, may be worth calling and seeing if they'd ship to you

Ive shot the traditions bullets side by side with shockwaves, they hit exact same point of impact as the tc shockwaves in my gun. Pretty sure its also the same sst bullet.
