Default RE: TC Omega - Load Combinations????


I just learned a new trick this last week,from another shooteron another forum. My Pro Hunter has allways shot well with a tight fitting bullet/sabot combo. It was a real PITA to load though. Another shooter said to try a light coating of (here we go) Bore Butter on the sabot,and to use a patch with Bore Butter on it,to coat the barrel between shots after wiping out the fouling between shots. I have to say I was a little wary about this,but wanting to have a easier loading bullet/sabot combo I would try anything. After a day at the range I'm impressed,and converted!The gun will load with one hand (no bullet starter needed) and absolutly drives tacks! Two other shooter were there and tried it as well,and got the same results ( the last I seen of them,they were heading out to get a tube of Bore Butter)The gun cleaned up with 2 patches,and a breech plug scrubbing. There was (for the first time) no plastic res. in the bore at all. I know allot of you guys don't like Bore Butter. I only used it for gunstorage in the bore after cleaning the gun up after a shooting session. I've also found out that the gun now shoots to the samePOI on the first shot as it does on the rest. I just leave the Bore Butter (a light coating) in the bore from the last cleaning/storage. My gun allways shot high on the first shot(clean dry nonfowled bore) But now it shoots to the same POI on every shot! Just goes to show ya,even an old dog CAN learn new tricks. Now I don't even think about chrushed rib sabots,EZ glide,ect. The standard Shock Waves (that I used to have to drive down the boar) load without a ball starter,and one hand on the ram rod. To say I'm happy with the accuracy,and loading would be a understatment! This is a pic of a target I shot while sighting in a new scope,on the PH. I left it set at shot #7there was a cross wind,and the next day none,it was at 12 O'clock high on the money. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d86/rks1949/Hunting/100ydtargetProHunter.jpg
