I would say shoot 1st the load you want to try out n see how it does. If it strings vertical too much powder if its horizontal not enough. Bore riders or sabots ? You can always try wads or not, they can help seal but some bullets don't need the help. Thin skinned like some of the Parkers i doubt would need them where as Barnes just may.
Yes sir no sabot, bullet rides the lands in bore, sometimes you half to kick'em in the butt to make them obturate n seal the grooves
Interesting - first I’ve ever heard that. Tell us more.
Its advice i have followed for several years now There was/is a sml builder on Hank's Message Board who did tests n research for a time period. It also played into the pulse/harmonics of a bbl. There was more that he written but i can't remember it all
I shoot 5 different propellants with bullets from 275grs to 350grs, all with a wad, and to ranges to 1,000yds.
I am shooting the exact setup, the only thing being different is that I'm using H4198 instead of IMR 4198. With the LRMP ignition I've never tried or needed to try a Wad. A lot of guys were getting better accuracy when using Wads with the old 209 plug vs. that plug with no Wad.
I'm also using the LRMP. My friend uses wads with his 1000 yard bolt gun.I didn't know is there was an up or a down side.
