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
Normally you should not swab at all except for cleaning the oil out of the barrel before you start, BH209 isknow to load and group better if you just load and shoot, if the weather is warm or hot you may want to wait about 5 minutes between shots this will get the best groups and be the closest to a cold barrel as in hunting conditions.
I am part way through my 5 can and I shoot more with that expensive stuff than I did before those one hole groups are addicting/ Lee
