pulled my load yesterday.
yesterday was opening day of rifle season. I did my morning hunt. it was calling for ran so I too a little bit of cling wrap and taped it over the muzzle of my disc extreme, got out about 5:30am set up. just a drop of ran here and there. 6am it picked up a little foggy, 7am, the sky opens up. down pour. I was soaked in 5mins down to my under ware. looked down on the barrel. the water was beading up and rolling off. decided go in. once inside I pushed my load out and clean the gun out. it has been load for 2 weeks. I was planning on doing this anyway. last few times out. it has been no colder then 30*. I had 100grs of triple 7 2f and FPB ready to go in the barrel.
the powder came out in one big clump. with a little in the bullet. a little press and it broke apart.
took the gun completely apart. dried it with a treated towel. used a little foaming bore cleaner, ran an tight patch thou. then used and 97% alcohol patch all over the metal part. followed by an rem oil patch on the barrel and hoppes #9 oil on the trigger group.
when I put it back together I used Teflon tape on the breech plug.
really worried if I got an shot if it would go off like it should of.
on the FPB you can see the where the grooves cut into the bullet and slightly deformed.
