I’m making my first trip to the range next week with a ML. I discovered that the back-and-forth in many forums and in Youtube videos in trying to seek out that “best load” was frying my brain.
I bought a CVA Accura PR (Nitride). I chose to begin with BH 209, CCI 209M primers, and Barnes & Hornady Sabots. I will try several other sabots in the coming weeks. One of the most aggravating differences in opinion was regarding the dislike for sabots because of the fouling left in the bore by melted sabots. Then came the counterclaims about how clean and accurate they were.
After tons of research, my current mindset is to make my fore-mentioned combo work for me and the Accura. Of course, I’m prepared to move past that if not a good match. I understand the concept of using a sabot and that my 50 cal is shooting a .45 cal. bullet. My game is 100% Whitetail with habitat that keeps me between 50-100 yards (max). My question is, have you experienced any particular techniques that one would want to apply or avoid to lessen shooter-caused fouling with a sabot? Thanks in advance.
