I have been reloading before with sabot and powder in the same tube and as I was pouring the powder into the muzzle, here comes the sabot and bullet pushing the powder too fast. Causing me to loose half my load.
What powder are you using? BH209 is probably has the most consistent granulation. I suspect most other powders have at least a few small granules such that they can get stuck between the ID of the tube and the sabot.
