Several months ago I bought several packs 350 gr lead Federal BOR Lock bullets. These were seconds - loose tips. But they shot fantastic out of my 700ML. Easily sub-MOA.
However I noticed on one occasion that when I withdrew the ramrod the bullet was stuck in the loading tip/jag and the skirting and base were still down in the bore. For safety's sake I pulled the BP and pushed everything out.
I talked to Federal about this about an hour ago telling them what had happened and that someone on here had the same issue. He did not have any recommended loading tip to use and told me he always gave the ramrod a twist to avoid this. I told him that you can't do that with a spin jag. We discussed a couple different options with him stating that the tip of the BOR Lock is extremely durable and even if marred a bit would not effect accuracy!
What I use is the jag for the Barnes TSX and TEZ bullets but I may just put a drop of silicone into the hole in the jag to keep it off the bullet and still cushion the tip. Someone in here said they put cotton in the tip but I want something more permanent.
You guys got any other options?
