Default T7 and a PRB?

I'm thinking of messing around with a PRB in my Omega.

I'm thinking of using T7, because I have a few bottles, and I don't want to waste BH 209 or Swiss.

My question is.....Will I get a crud ring with a PRB?

I'd use a wad between the patch/powder.

That is all I use at Rondy shoots with my Renegades, but I do use T7-2f. Using a #11 ignition will often not create a crud ring, depending on what might be in your bore.

At rondy events I shoot 80 grains in the 54 and 70 in the 50's and as FG suggested - I to use a treated wonder wad under the patch to ease the heat on the patch.

I do not get a crud ring...

Now that I think back. I did try T7 in my Hawken, and got a crud ring.

I thought maybe it was just from inlines using 209 primers, but that's not the case.



You don't have to sell me on the PRB. I've shot thousands of them. This was more of a powder question. I'll just give away the T7. I don't have a use for it in any of my guns.

I thought the handle MULEY came from the deer you hunt, but it must be for your stubbone attitude...

HUH? Stubborn about what?

You said you didn't use T7 with the PRB, so what was I supposed to take from your post?

NO I DIDN'T T7 is all that I use, Put your danged glass on! it works great... for me - but I do have a couple of cans of GOEX that i carry around with me just in case.

Tie Breaker card shot with T7 and a .490 patched ball...



I got a better one but can not find it right now...

Seriously give it a try also use a regular #11 cap not the the #11 mag... and if that gives you a 'crud ring' then we will talk about what you treat your bore with

Oh! i never thought about shooting a PRB from a fast twist Omega, i know it can be done with reduced loads but you are really limited and with your regular sidelocks that you have available - i surely thought that was what you were looking at.

oh well who cares have fun!!!!
