I ment the oil interfearing with the powder.
Kinda thought so - so if you are shooting a Pyro - then the tar issue is a
non-issue. The reason for running the alcohol patch before shooting is to remove as much oil as you can to prevent the sabot from slipping in the barrel when fired. Sabots are self lubricating - so they do not need the oil,- but you also loose your bore protection when hunting is lousy weather. I have been able to get around that issue so far.
Im thinking of switching to loose powder to get the best accuracy possible. It seems as loose powder in the 120gr measurement is the standard for best accuracy, give or take.
I think you would like loose powder much better than pellets in the long run. I again assuming you are talking 120 gr of a Pyro, I shoot loose T7 and for most guns I shot 100 grains for years. But in the recent past I have moved to 110 grains in all the inlines except the Knight and I use 120 in it.
In actuality(sp) your gun will tell you what it likes best when start shooting a powder/projectile combination.
