Hi,

Thanks for all the replies.

I do swab between shots. I use a patch dampen with T/C No. 13 Bore Cleaner and then a dry patch. I hope that's OK. The reason that I was using the powerbelt was because they loaded in the Encore. I had problems with other bullet, sabot combination on the second shot. I'm just trying to find a combination that is consistent, and decent down range performance.

I will try removing the plastic button and lube it. I have also purchased T/C 250gr shockwaves and hornady 300gr XTP. I'm hoping that I can seat them, after the second shot. I will order some of the No Excuses, and try them, but what kind of range does those 460gr have? That's big, almost a lead mine in it's self.

Thanks for all the help!

Mike
