Omega out again
 

The last time I took the Omega out I had a pretty good group with bh 209, 300 gr. sw. Put in the gun cabinet for a week and tried the same load, the first one loaded hard, the next four loaded easier but the group was not quite as good almost 3 in. instead of 2". Today I decided to clean it good with hoppes 9, 4 wetpatches and then dried it with3 or 4 dry. The patches were coming out really clean. I then took some Flitz and ran it back and forth and the patches were coming out with some fouling on again, not much but they were not clean.Then I went out back and shot a6 shot group, the first one loaded real hard and was 3.5" low and to the right. WOW !! But the next 5 were what I was looking for.





Just wondering if you are supposed to do something after the flitz besides run some clean patches after.

i like using the T17 that T/C makes for these ML'ers... I just run 1 pre saturated patch up and down and then it takes roughly 3-4 dry patches to get her clean. After that I run there seasoning patch down which is just bascially bore butter. Thats after shooting the BH209 also

kinda odd for 1 shot to be that far off. Are you certain you didnt jerk the trigger? How far was the target?

either way, i wouldnt worry to much about it since you got the group you were looking for;) Some days ill shoot great and then others I just have a bad day which ticks me off, but we have to let those worrysome days go LOL

any of those shots has a dead deer down

I shoot an Encore and use the T 17 products as well,cleaned out wal mart last season.

Good shooting.
I have some flitz that I use on the knives I make,I will try it on my bore

How far that first shot is off often depends on what oil or other you put in the barrel and how you clean it out.
I scrub mine with alcohol then fire a couple primers to slightly foul it the first shot is about 1 to 1.5 inches low and center. Lee

No, I'm certain I didn't flinch, I use a shoulder pad plus a shooters friend recoil pad which almost eliminatesany fear of recoil. This was at 100 yds.
I guess I was just wondering what should be done after polishing the bore with Flitz or JB bore paste before you load again?
