Still don't know why you don't get a crud ring Mike? Unless you're swabbing it out all the time?
With a 209 primer I can get it but it takes 4-5 shots before it might effect loading...

I do run a slightly moist windex patch afer each shot, in fact I use the same patch til it dries, but I do that because that is the condition my bore would be in while hunting - so everything is the same. you have or at least you suppose to allow the barrel to cool a little bit in between shots, and I am not good at that, so I run a patch to burn some time.

I think shooting BH that is even more important, waiting not patching, BH burns so much hotter in temperature it really does heat the barrel and running a sabot down on a real hot bore is asking for a problem - let it cool...

I have no paitence...
