I should add, that the only time the rifle was swabbed was between changing brands of projectiles. I never swabbed the barrel when shooting any one projectile. It loaded all eight of the 405 grain as easy as the first..

I like this rifle with the #11 cap ignition. Very little fowling. And there was absolutly no crud ring in the breech of this rifle that I could feel when loading or swabbing the barrel. Why, I have no idea.
