There are probably a 100 different theories about the Underclocked's famous "Crud Ring" and I have know idea what one might be the best one... And I do not know why some guns get it and some do not... My Omega, actually all of my ML's, have been spared this disease. I have know idea why.Maybe it is my method of barrel care - I just do not know.
The first couple of shots from a very clean slightly oiled barrel always produces a very small ring - one that I could load by if I needed to, but after 3 - 5 shots (swabbing between shots) the ring really does not build up - I can shoot 4 additional shots without the fowling interferring with the loading. When hunting I do carry a speedloader with a MMP-3p-EZload sabot and bullets so I could easily get by any fowling if I needed to for a quicker 2nd shot if needed.
Since I am one of the fortunate ones - I will stick with T7 it has been very efficient for me. I should note I use loose T7 - pellets might be a different problem altogether.
