When I started, I dry patched the bore. This was advise from a forum member. Then I popped three 209 primers, and loaded. The reason I started to experiment with swabbing is when I was loading, the Nosler sabots were really tight. And have you ever felt fouling in the bore when loading?

Right now, I am experimenting with how to squeeze the best out of this powder, with the least headaches. And I appreciate all the advise.. I want to try new things.

Last issue... While the bore swabs clean easy, that bolt and breech plug is a pita! It took me longer to clean those items then any traditional rifle I ever cleaned. Lots of carbon residue.
