I've reached that change in life stage... Probably sell one of the pickup trucks and get a sports car.

Since I would not have to shoot past 100 yards in 99% of my cases, I really like the idea of hunting with these 10mm XTPs. Also, when I was shooting the 300 grain Hornady the same day, I was using a Harvester Crushed Rib sabot. They loaded like a dream and were really accurate. I was pushing them with 110 grains of Pyrodex RS. Yet I was shooting some 250 grain Speer Gold Dots in juststandard sabots, and when I pushed them over 100 grains the accuracy wentbad, real fast.

I actually shot my rifle so many times yesterday, that if finally just would not even go off anymore. I must have shot well over 60 rounds through it. I was swabbing from time to time.I shot off over a half pound of Pyrodex RS alone, not to mention APP 2f, Triple Se7en 3f, Graf's 2f Black Powder, and Goex 3f.

So to rid the barrel of my last shot of the day, I was forced to dump some powder down the nipple hole into the bolster. It was then I noticed a lot of crud in that bolster. I even ran a nipple pick through it into the main powder charge. Then when I capped it and fired it was instant. So it is possible to fowl out a rifle even if youswab the barrel. I was using RWS dynamite noble 1075 caps too.Needless to say towards the end of the day, accuracy was slacking off and it could have been because of the fowling in the rifle.
