A Day at the Range

I've found that bore butter does not help. A spit patch did, no crud ring. I tried 2 pellets,100 grains pyro. Select,and RS all had crud ring when using bore butter, but did not when using spit patch. Also the groups tighted up from 7-10 inches to 1.5-3 groups Select being the best. I shot 50 to 60 shot today starting with bore butter then ready to hit the local gun shop to see if I could trade for something else. I remembered reading hree that some of you use spit patch so I tried it crud ring disapeard and wow it groups! Thanks.

Crud ring did not bother me this weekend for a change either, one shot, one dead buck.  I did reload though without a ring from the one shot.  Glad you found something that worked, I told you that Encore would be a shooter!

ck I have pulled the plug it seems to be located about 2 inches from the breech plug or where the bullet seats. This could be the reason for accuracy problem. My theory is the ring causes gas blow by.
