    My Accura shreds Barnes TEZ sabots

    I know what the problem is. The way they make the TEZ easier to load, is by making the sabot thinner. If you don't watch it, your bore will start collecting plastic, which creates a layering of plastic over powder residue, over plastic and so on. Then, it becomes a little rough, even though your...

    45 Cal barrel wont shoot

    After reading all of the replies, two things occur to me. First, the manufacturer says you have a Seneca, and the manual says it has a 1 in 48 twist. Have you done a check? Very simple to test. Second, I am attaching a picture of a bore on a rifle I had. It just wouldn't shoot, even though the...

    My Accura shreds Barnes TEZ sabots

    Yah, and there's more than one way gravity can get you. I was walking into a local gun shop with a long gun in each hand. I'd had a mild stroke some weeks before, and my left foot went off the edge of the elevated entrance. As I was flying, courtesy of gravity, like any true rifleman, I held...

    My Accura shreds Barnes TEZ sabots

    I bought that box of Barnes bullets with blue sabots at least 3 years ago. Hard telling when they were made. Never thought about the age factor! What I did consider was that the only way Barnes could have made them EZ to load would have been to make the sabot thinner. I have made the decision to...

    I ran out of Blackout patches. They are in shipping, and I'll report when I can get up to the range.

    MrTom you are a scholar and a gentleman. I just loaded the Accura with 110 gr of BH 209, and a 250 gr. TEZ bullet in a MMP black 12 sabot. Can't wait to get to the range.

    I had some Bore Tech carbon remover that I use on my 40X 22 target gun's dreaded carbon ring, so it's soaking in that now. I don't know if it works against plastic, but we'll see what happens.

    Here is some Teslong stuff 2 pics (2 90 degree and one full bore) I see a little improvement, but if you look close, there seems to be a bit of something in the grooves. I have used the acetone swap and brush at least 20 times and still getting black patches, though not as bad.

    My Accura shreds Barnes TEZ sabots

    Thank you! There are certain men that stand out.....Lee Shaver is one of them. Lee worked over two of my Browning 1885 triggers and took the time explain a few things about them I am getting real tired of the acetone procedure, so maybe if the barrel was a little smoother I won't have to deal...

    My Accura shreds Barnes TEZ sabots

    I have been cleaning all morning, mopping with acetone, letting it sit, then wire brushing. This is after a serious JB session. Patches are still coming out black. Hard to comprehend, when regular cleaning patches, post range day. were coming out spotless.

    I have sent Lee a heck of a lot of money from time to time, but I didn't know he had a "method" for this.

    Well, I'm 80 years old, and that was last fall so I was a little more of a real man then lol.

    Acetone evaporates so fast, makes me wonder about the method???

    My Accura shreds Barnes TEZ sabots

    Well men, I put the bore scope down there and saw a whole lot of streaks that I assume must be plastic. So I got out a little over bore size wire brush, wrapped with a cotton patch loaded with JB and went at it for most of a couple hours. Cleaned all the grit out of it and took another picture...
