I was shooting my CVA Kodiak Mag over the weekend. I usually use a load consisting of 2 777 pellets topped with a 223 grain powerbelt aerotip. I get great accuracy and have killed deer out to 150 yards with this load. I always use a brass jig followed by a wet then two dry patches for cleaning between shots. If I do not cleanthis way I cannot get the powerbelt to seet the same depth everytime due to the crud ring. My brother asked me why I don't just add the third 777 pellet on follow up shots instead of cleaning. His theory was the crud ringafter the first shot with two pellets, would be close enough to the breech plug to be eclipsed by three pellets. Therefore, eliminating the cleaning and allowing a faster follow up shot if needed. I realize the accuracy might change, but does anybody know if this might work. It did peak my curiosity. I guess I would have to know the general distance between the crud ring and the breech plug.
