rafsob: Not doubting you, but I'm baffled about you're difficulty loading certain sabots only after shooting BH209 .... In my case it's usually easier to load on a BH209 fouled barrel in both my Elite & Omega. Could it be you rifle is so new... and continued shooting will smooth out any rough spots in the bbl. ???

Yes,,, if you inspect your barrelafter a session with BH209, you think OMG !!! what a mess!!! But just 2 Hoppes #9 patches and it's shinning nice and bright for me.I admit the B/P can be a little stubborn with BH209..as I usually end up rubbing some 0000 steel wool on the powder end.

In the end, it's whatever you haveconfidence in.
