Sabot residue removal

I've had good luck with the brownells.

I definitely had a failure of some sort.
I suspect that with everything I did to seal up the sabot I did a great job maybe to good.
When I did my original work up the sabot was being "sized " by the barrel on entry
My velocity was modest.
Now with that problem corrected the load force is greater the velocity is a couple hundred ft sec faster out side the parameters of sabot velocity so I am reworking to get into the velocity zone I need to be in.
I think the tightness of my particular bore and the added velocity has caused my issues.
I'm thinking when I get the load and possibly the sabot preasure backed down I'll get the results I'm looking for.
Time will tell.

I have a friend in Ark. that shoots sabots up to 2600 out of his .45 . Never blows sabots, he takes 15 minutes between shots as the temps rise. I have not blown any sabots now that i went to that. Don't let any of your sabots get too warm or hot by the sun.

I have only experienced plastic fouling a few times. I would spray WD40 down the barrel and wait about 20 to 30 minutes. Afterwards, I would run a few patches down the barrel. The WD40 would dissolve all the plastic.

When I used to shoot sabots my go-to for the plastic removal was Acetone on a patch and a tight fitting brush.. It would soften the plastic and really clean the barrel up nice.

I use Butchs Bore shine.

My free Traditions inline was given to me because it wouldn't shoot. I still have the original box of sabots & bullet combination owner #1 used. When I saw how cruddy his barrel was I went to work scrubbing it. It now has the cleanest barrel on any of my muzzleloaders and it is quite accurate with the black harvester sabots and the 45 cal Hornady XTP bullets. In the process of cleaning it the first time, plastic residue was visible on the patches that were run through the bore.

I use Shooters Choice just like I do with my trap guns to remove wad residue.It works great!

Thumbs up on the shooters choice . I use it in my Savage and it removes all them black marks well. Hey anybody using 4198 in the Savage ?
