RE: Melted Sabot?
deerplague
Let's not even worry about the BB thing right now that will be a different battle and a decision only you can make.
So help me out if you have time:
What rifle are you shooting?
What powder and how much are you shooting?
Which primer system are you using? if it is 209 which brand of 209's?
Which bullet?
and which brand of sabots?
Did you recover your sabot? if so what does it look like?
How difficult is it to get the sabot down and seated with a clean barrel?
With these questions answered a much more direct answer can be provided... I would still lean towards "crud ring" but ya never know.....
A suggestion if you plan doing a good deal of shooting pick up a range rod, if you are only going to shoot it for hunting and sighting in stay with your regular ram rod.
look forward to you next post....
