Default Accuracy tip.

Guys, I forgot to mention this when I was out shooting the other day. The first time out with the Genesis, I was loading it with my fiberglass range rod with a spin jag. But as you know, loading the sabots takes a lot more pressure to load than lead conicals and that fiberglass rod was like trying to stick a nightcrawler back into its hole.
Well the next time out I used the stiffer ramrod that came with the Genesis and a screw on T handle. The first couple shots I noticed as I was loading that the sabot seemed to be 'skipping' down the barrel. Then I realized that the previous outing, the spin jag was allowing the bullet/sabot to follow the rifling down the bore. I Backed off on the t handle a little to make it loose and the 'skipping' stopped. Accuracy seemed to improve too because the sabot was grooved to the rifling.
