Not in mine - too loose. Been there done that.

Agreed - I dont have to worry about this with any of my other rifles. That would be a nice gun

Sabotloader your probably right about stainless versions, i personally don't care for any stainless rifle.maybe i am old school, they just look to bright and fancy to me!i am sure it would help with the sales of there rifles.who knows why corporations do what they do, i am sure they have there reasons lol! i am really anxious to try BH in the triumph and see how it performs.only downside is $$$ and i probably won't want to go back to 777 lol! oh well, we only live once!!

I know what you mean... but BH is just to expensive to be fun especially with the amount of shooting I do. T7 works very well for me - so I will contiune on...

I even bought a case of it when Cabelas had it on sale and I still use T7....

A lot of folks would call me old fogie... but if I could i would gladly trade my Tika 300 Win Mag for a stainless Tika Win Mag.... I have really come to like stainless. It is a winner on so many plains for me.

If i like it as much as i think i will, i will just shoot BH and buy 777 for the boy and the lady . that sound selfish lol?

If they offered a stainless Triumph with the Omega Dream Season contour and length barrel it would be hard to pass up.

I never looked at the dream season closely, just went to the T/C site.it is a nice M/L and that barrel is nice.

Remember anything i put in this post are just my thoughts and the way i do things but others certainly may do them different.
I never use alcohol in my ML's but because of the way I treat the bore I do think it is necessary. In your case for this particular shooting episode I would say that you really should have ran 2 or 3 alcohol patches before shooting. From another conversation, you said that you use Hoppes #9 gun oil for your bore. I looked up Hoppes #9 and while it is great bore oil - it is exactly that - it is real oil and I would call it a heavy oil. Just wiping the bore with a dry patch probably will not get much of the oil out of the bore at all + plus every time you shoot and heat the bore you probably released even more oil from the bore. Probably why it took so long for the sabots to get a grip on the lands and grooves to be accurate. Again in your case alcohol really might have sped this process up. Regular denatured alcohol (70% Isopropyl Alcohol) will work ok, but I would really suggest 91% alcohol avaiable at your local Pharmacy.


Sounds good to me.. i do the scrubber stuff also... I do not use the Barrel Blaster spray... This is where I would like to suggest that you use a synthetic bore oil vs a true oil. There 2 products on the market that I believe are superior for this process. The first one is 'Slip 2000' an awesome oil... a tiny little bit on one patch might do a whole gun - do not need much...

Check the Gun lubricant tab on this site, do not look at the BP oil tab:

The other oil that I suggest and the one that I use today is Montana X-treme Bore Conditioner... I know every one will thell you you can not condition a modern steel bore... but it is metal and it does have pores so it can be conditioned... This product is another synthetic product with the prime ingrediant being Ether Alcohol for rapid evaportation leaving the synthetic oil portion in place. Again a very little bit of this will go miles and miles. If you get it and start using it you will over do the oil for awhile because you eill not believe how far it will go. I use it and find no need for the alcohol patch prior to shooting.

Click on the products tab and choose Bore Conditioner:

Do not think that will be a problem just remember to run 3 or 4 alcohol patches prior to shooting. Then prior to loading snap 3-4 primers and dry patch.... Load 'er up and go hunting.

I have had good luck shooting TEZ with blue and a 250gr loaded with 100 grains of powder out of my TC bone collector. I usually shoot 2 or 3 primers through before loading and it has always shot a nice group with the Barnes. Good luck .
