A buddy just took up muzzle-loading 2 years ago and discovered the crud ring using T7 in his Omega. It was bad enough that he couldn't seat a second shot consistently and was getting terrible groups. He went the usual route, called T/C and they sent him a new breech plug, recommended T7 primers and the usual stuff which never works. He claims to have beat the problem by going to 3 pellets. His reasoning is that he has not eliminated the problem but he has moved the bullet up away from the ring. I can't argue with his groups, they are consistent for 5 shots - without swabbing!!! His regular cleaning routine is to pull a boresnake through a couple times after shooting 5-6 shots and that's it during the season. Afterwards he does a good wet cleaning for storage. I use loose powder but heck if this solves the problem i would rather hunt with pellets.
Anyone here use 3 pellet loads and think they could seat 4 bullets without swabbing and get nice groups?
