BuckDoeHunter said:If it gets harder to load after the first shot with BH209, something isnt quite right. In my three different rifles, the second, third, forth, etc. were easier to load than the first. And after that first shot, each load went down with the same amount of pressure on the ramrod. IMO, swabbing between shots isnt necessary, but if it works for you, I dont see the harm in it, it will even give your barrel a chance to cool down for more consistant shooting.

It was a shocker to see how much brown grime came out. I shot Harvester Crushed Rib Sabots with 260gr PT and some of the Harvester .40 cal 200 grain bullets in the blue crushed rib sabots. I never cleaned the barrel and they loaded with slight resistance everytime. The .40 cal seemed to shoot the best for a youth load I was working up at 50 yds with 75 grains of Blackhorn 209

funman said:Is swipe the new swab :?: :lol:
I almost never swab with BH209 BUT after about 20 shots i can feel the sabots get tighter. Sometimes the accuracy is a bit better then. It all depends on the OD of the sabot/bullet combo. If they get really tight i run a dry patch.
