Ok...thanks for all the input
here's my plan....
if there's no wind tomorrow, i'm going to shoot a 5 shot group with my 240 grain dead centers (since that's basically all i have left) I will try indexing them..range yet to be determined but it will probably be 100 because of my bullet shortage.
I'm going to either clean the bore after each shot, or just fould the bore first and then remove the breach and run a dry patch between shots....ideally i'd like to try both but, again, i'm short on bullets at the moment. I have 300 grain dead centers and scorpion pt golds so maybe i'll try a 5 shot with them. thanks again
