No harm no foul on the Pedersoli issue. You are right. All of you. It is compareing apples to oranges, custom rifle to production rifle. I do wonder where the differance lie sometimes... but lets not go into that again
No fire lapping for me. I've shot jacket bullets...somone mentioned that might help. I've shot several hundred rounds...so I would say it is broken in. I'm making a blow tube and will work on that. I do believe (subject to change when I learn something.
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
) that fouling is my issue. I have use all sorts of bp lube from spg to beeswax and crisco. I think my lube is good. I have dry fouling the last three or four inches or so of the barrel. It is a 32incer...if that makes differance in this discussion. I've use a blow tube before and didn't see much differance, but I will try again.
Next idea is a bullet with wider grease grooves. Any of you lads have any suggestions on this. Going to take the plunge and get all set up to cast my own. The mold...hmmm. I understand that Paul Jones is the best there is and his 540grn creedmoor seems to be prefered. NEI has one that that is called the Paul Jones Creedmore and of course you have the Lyman Postel. What is the words of wisdom on these. Which one might have the most lube area?
Thanks for the advice. I'm still big on the learning curve here.
I appologise to those who thought I was harsh in my reply on the Pedersoli issue. If I had the money, Shiloh would be my first choice. In time, I might trade up but for now????
