Point of impact changes- clean vs fouled barrel

[LarryBud]

With the graphite lube are you loading up first and then swabbing the barrel with the graphite or swabbing the barrel all the way to the breach and then loading? If the second way any issue with the lube/powder causing issues with ignition etc?

J-

Good Question. I clean and swab well prior to loading. I believe it dries quickly but I give it plenty of time. ( before I drive to range for example ).

I have not, nor would I anticipate any ignition issues. It's really just a very light coating on the bore which keeps the sabot from spinning out on a clean, oiled barrel.

When we go back to the origin of Flyer problem, it has to be that the sabot spins differently on a clean barrel than the a more " Grippy " dirty barrel.

Your merely trying to match the dirty barrel feel for the sabot.

Larry:

After swabbing with the graphite do you fire a cap to make sure that the breech plug is clean?

Yes, usually a couple caps as always.
