Default RE: weather test on substitute powders

yeoman

Nope butt is down.... I really do not think I am getting the consensation problem. This the same thing I do during hunting season also. and knock on wood I have never had a problem..... NOTICE in the senerio - the gun never comes from cold to warm - there is always a slow warming in between - then to the house....

Any time you compact T7 in the gun - I have never been able to pour it out.... even when I remove the BP, I'll get a little bit out but the majority of it is still compactacted.... This did worry me some once so I removed the BP and captured the powder as it came out when I pushed the sabot on through... I was dry and fine just poured it back into my range bottle of T7.

My barrel is relativly free of any oils, as free as I can get them with a patch,when I am loaded so I have never concerned myself with oils running down either.

Has worked like a champ during hunting season... the load that I shot my little buck this year was @ 170+ yard was over a week old in and out of the field - truck & house....

I guess I'll find out Sunday for sure... anyway I hoping I get to shoot Sunday - Monday is a holiday so it might be Monday.
