Ok, I have some information now. I just tried all the sabot/bullets that were sent to me by Mike and SS.

Bore was squeaky clean with alcohol.

Both Lehighs load firm, but smooth all the way down. I don't even feel the loose (?) spot.

290gr TMZ with yellow sabot loaded really firm all the way down

340gr Dead center with orange sabot loaded firm all the way down.

250gr Shockwave yellow tip with black sabot loaded firm all the way down.

250gr Red Hot with orange sabot loaded firm all the way down.

Not sure what this bullet is? It says 300gr Jacketed with black sabot. Was way too tight and got stuck just a few inches down the bore. I had to pound it back out.

495gr No Excuse almost fell through the bore. way too loose.

Whatcha all think? Will these all load harder after I shoot one with BH 209? Will plastic build up, and do I need to swab?
