Second attempt. Somehow my reply to my own post got moderated?
You are correct, sir! I completely missed what you were getting at.
TBH, I haven't used the included tent pole rod at all yet. I've just used my aluminum rod from my T&C for seeding & swabbing. I'll have to pick up a decent range rod.
I was going to ask if the White Hot was any better, but it appears that's only available in 50 cal.
Any difference in the amount of fouling between 777 powder vs pellets?
