I posted a couple of weeks ago that using liquid graphite had tamed the first shot flyer with my Super Disc. Yesterday I went out to test it in two additional rifles.

#1) Disc Extreme 50 with a history of first shot flyers.
100 BH 209
300 SSTs
Short Black Harvester

#2 ) 45 Cal Master Hunter with horrible flyers.
100 BH 209
200 XTP
Smooth Blue Harvester

Both guns were swabbed with a wet patch, then a dry patch, then liquid graphite was applied at home. I shot two primers prior to loading at the range.




The 50 looks good to go. Not sure what happened on #4. I may have pulled it?

The 45 has me perplexed. This load has shot well in the past. #1 does appear to be out of the group.

Overall, the liquid graphite has completely solved two of the first three problem rifles.
 
Concerning the ML that's producing flyers.....

How about shooting two primers, then run a patch of Liquid graphite?
or
Dry patch after inserting the liquid graphite, then shoot two primers.
