Bullet is firm in barrel but with the bore lock bullet that is only real contact with that base ring until firing. We can't use sabots. Wife has a Colorado Muzzleloader Bull tag. Loose powder, no sabots, iron sights. She can shoot. I just got to get this figured out.
Rifle I borrowed from friend is new. Only 60-70 rounds thru it by me. Shot good groups with it with Pyrodex and Powerbelts but everyone tells me powerbelts are a poor choice for Elk. I'm really hoping I can get this done with BH209 and Federal Bore Lock bullets.
The swabbing issue is and easy fix if I can stick with the BH209. I can try and find some hotter primers. I think the breech plug is an issue too.
