Cyclone,

The sole purpose of this excersise would be to 'season the bore,' before 'working up' a saboted hunting load. No 'sighting in' would be attempted, or expected.

I'm aware of the value in 'seasoning' a bore for traditional 'round ball' applications, but, wasn't sure if this could be harmful when the goal is to shoot saboted loads?

Thank you for your comments. They're appreciated.

Mark,

I'm encouraged by the comments received thus far, in that, there are no cautionary notes about potential negative side effects from this process, when the goal is to shoot a saboted load.

Question: Can the true benefit of 'seasoning' be gained with so few 'lubed' shots? How much of the 'seasoning' benefit is lost when you THOROUGHLY clean the barrel, prior to shooting with sabot's?

Thanks for the feedback.
