I just used the JB-paste and boy did it make her shine. I also pushed one on my powerbelts through the bore to see the contact it has with the rifling. The only part in contact was the belt itself, is that enough to get the spin going? I noticed that the belt can spin on the projectile. Ialso purchased someWinchester pirmersto try. I refuse to give up.
It is like owning a boat, I just keep throwing money at it. Sure am glad that boating and ML season do not coincide. I would be divorced or broke, probally both.

250 TC Shockwave Bullets
Winchester Primers.

Iswab the barrel after 3 shots. Great group and good velocity.

How do you seat the shock wave projectiles? Do you use a second or aftermarket ramrod? My Optima rod will not accept a new jag.

If you are range shooting it is generally adviseable to purchase a longer "Range Rod" that you can put all kinds of different tips in. If your current gun rod will not allow you to this measure the length of it and order an aftermarket ram rod of your choice.
