Give it a try and see if you like it.

Just make sure you start with a totally oil free barrel and DONT swab for at least 20 shots. And then i only use a dry or slightly damp patch if i must.

Firm and consistent bullet/sabot seating on the powder helps. I prefer a medium to snug sabot fit. Almost everyone usually recommends mag primers but some guns are fine with plain win209s. All of mine ignite fine with Win209s or any standard primer that fits.

Its worth it to me most of the time but i still keep other loose powders on hand. It beats the hell outta pellets IMO in every way. I stock up when its on sale at local T7 pricing or better.

Do T7s stop the crud ring?....maybe less than the strongest primers but Rem STSs didnt seem any worse to me in that area. The only reason i occasionally use T7s is they fit better in mine.

Your mileage may vary.
