Seriously, just when I think all possible new muzzleloader terms are in my bucket I see something else in these forums. I hate to think how ineffective a muzzleloader I’d be without all of this knowledge. I’ve told people for years that I had no time in my life or room in my brain to learn something new. Well, here I am. Today, Encore introduced me to “loading force.”
Fast forward a couple of hours. Barnes T-EZ is one of the combos I’ve been focused on. I understand why they named it T-EZ. My question is, how do you know that it’s just “easier” and not risky “too easy?” Is your loading force at all relevant? Do you compare the measure of your sabot/bullet with your bore measure - if bore measure even matters?
Last week I got a sample packet of black HPH12 and HPH24 sabots. She said to use 12’s first. If they didn’t feel better then try the 24’s. If I’m able seat both of them using the necessary force, how do I know which is best? I found a 10 year-old thread today on MM where members offered meanings of different levels of force when searing a combo, like too easy, easy, . . . Any members used one or more differ3nt sabots to replace the blue T-EZ?
