New bullet, new prob ...

[sluggun pilgrim]

With respect to the leading and breech seating... I am no expert but have a few rifles that I shoot breech seated grease grooved bullets in. I wipe between shots and have found that if I follow the wiping with a dry patch then I'll get leading within 5 or 6 shots. Enough to create a flyer that is really obvious. If I do not use a dry patch then the problem goes away. The smaller calibers really seem to be sensitive to bore condition. Way more than my .45's.

I have one rifle that likes me to dry the bore when breech seating but that one uses paper patched bullets. :-)
