Why's that Grouse??? There's absolutely nothingwrong with this gun. I just needed to find my sabot. And I did.

Every shot. I would pull the breech plug, wipe it down, q-tip any build-up off the face, run my drill bit down the firing channel and then put it back in. Not really necessary but that's close to the condition it will be in when I'm hunting.

Probably because you have a different rifle. The supplied Barnes sabots may fit tighter in your bore than mine. I really don't know. But I'm glad I didn't just settle with what I had.

Okay

That's what I thought...

WOW, You said there is nothing wrong with your gun, and you needed to find a sabot and you did. I said okay then.
You actually just reminded me why i shouldn't of said anything.

Well then that's my bad. I thought you were trying to be sarcastic or something. Seriously, why did you say I needed to send my rifle back?

stop yer arguing. You 2 are like a couple school girls fighting over the same purse

Because it's not right. If you cant shoot 5 groups of three with out touching the gun with BH209 something is wrong. You have a $700.00 ML, that's not worth two cents to me. I'm being totally seriouswith you. Omega's, Triumph's, Disc Elite's, Extreme's, SideKicks, Encore's, Pro-Hunters, Savage, which did i miss? All shoot multiple groups with out touching anything very accurately. What you do is absolutely crazy.

If you listen, Chuck can help you. If nothings wrong with the way you have that gun set up. He will show you how to shoot that shot after shot with out touching a thing. And it will shoot in the same spot.

I think you may have read what I posted at the beginning wrong. The weapon will shoot just fine without swabbing between shots. Actually, it's damn accurate. I choose not to because when I hunt I'm not hunting with burnt BH209 residue in the bore. I step off to hunt with a pretty much clean bore with one fouling primer fired. That is the bore condition I am trying to simulate by doing all the cleaning in between each shot. Working up my hunting load. If I'm out shooting just for fun, I don't swab at all. What I was saying about the shot being off a little is that when I fire the first shot of the day the bullet goes in one spot. Then if I fire the second shot without swabbing, the BH209 fouling in the bore tends to send the shot a little bit away from where the first shot went. All subsequent shots will pretty much be right on top of the second shot. It's just the difference between the first shot being fired through a relatively clean bore and the second shot fired through a mildly fouled bore. Pretty much everyone I've seen who posted a range report says the same thing about the first shot being somewhat of a flyer.
