Well I tried the Shockwave bullets and loose 777 and got three touching at 100 yds.  This bullet is tough to load even when using the shockwave loading jag.  I like the second T-handle that T/c came out with for the outside end of the ramrod.  It keeps the ramrod in place and quite.  My problem is I can't use the jag and the handle at the same time.  I have to carry one in my pocket.  Anyone come up with a solution to leave both on the ramrod at the same time.  It would sure speed up a reload.  Yes, I know get it right on the first shot.  Murphy lives at my house and he loves to go hunting.

The quik-load containers that T/C makes with the powder graduations on the side have both a bullet starter and a hole to push the ramrod with. They are all I carry anymore.

Good luck hunting!

Arrroman,
   I looked at the ones on T/C's website.  Are you talking about the red, black, or the green speedloaders?  Do they hold 209 primers?
Thanks

Look for the 4-in1 T-Loader. They are see through clear with black caps. They have a short starter on the side and red lines with graduation up to 110grains to measure powder. They also have a molded in divot so you can push on the ramrod. I think I got mine from BassPro. They don't have a place for the primer but I use a separate tool for that anyway.

Good luck hunting!
