Default BH 209 - First Time Out - Comments and Questions

Gentlemen:

This afternoon I finally jumped on the BH209 wagon. I was shooting my T/C Omega with Hornady 250 gr SST - using the supplied sabot. My load was 90gr of BH209.

This gun has a very tight bore, however after the first shot with the BH209 the bullet went down the bore fairly easily....since I am used to having to stuff the load down I am wondering if others have also experienced this?

I was running one dry swab after each shot and was surprised at the quantity of fouling on the patch, at least I wasn't expecting this. How often do you guys swab when using BH209? With some coaching from you guys I could easily be convinced to skip the swabbing .

And finally, I was able to do a 100 yard 2.5" three shot group today, very nice for the first time out!!!

If anyone cared to give me your thoughts on my questions I would be appreciative.

Cheers
Randy
