I just recieved my new field & stream today, and found an interesting article on page 54.It was written by Lawrence Payne.
Supposedly hodgdon powder has been researching the problem with residue causing barrell clog and difficult bullet seating from using pelletized powder. Here's what they found.
Pellets take more time to ignite than loose powder . with the explosion of a 209 primer the force can drive the pellets forward before combustion is complete. Which inturn leaves a trail of residue that does not burn away. this is the residue we all clean between shots to ease our reloading and promot better accurracy. Seems they found a fix or so they say.
Their suggestion is to switch to a .410 shotshell primer or to a ML only version[remington Kleenbore muzzloading primers]. They claim changing to this option will allow 2 to 15 more shots between cleanups. with no noticable loss of velocity or accuracy.
I thought it sounded like a good Idea , any thoughts. :?:
