Optima V2, No Excuses .504 420 grains.
When I start these it takes a little bit of force but once started I am guessing less than 10# to get down the bore after intial 3-4".
Is this enough or should they be tighter all the way down?
I understand that .504 is the largest he offers for the .50 caliber.
Is this the norm for conical bullets, start easy then once the rifling are engraved they load easier?
Also this is with a standard rod and starter. I am thinking about a spin jag. Bullet should follow rifling as seated vs just skipping along rifling.
