Shoots 3 1/2 '' groups at 100 yrds off bench with bags, just curious what others are using for whitetail loads and how they shoot.
Thanks.
I would look for a bullet and sabot combination which provides a tighter fit. BH 209 likes a tight fit for best accuracy. Plus, I like something I know won't move off the powder. A one finger loader is pretty loose in my book.
Summary: Don't swab. It may provide a tighter fit and improve accuracy or switch up the bullet combo. It would be fun messing around anyway.
