[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 707035, member: 33046"] [U]Its not necessary to swab between shots with BH209[/U]. Its just one of the great things about the propellent. I just finished with some extensive testing [I](I HATE testing)[/I] of bullet loading forces using BH209. There is no significent difference loading the 2nd shot or the 10th shot with the force to move the bullet down the barrel. So when they (Western) or anyone else says that there's no need to swab, they're correct. There's no way in your post to identify how well you expected the rifle would group or, what you are capable of shooting [U]or, how well you shot with your previous propellent.[/U] Is it the best that your rifle or you can do? What size group were you shooting before? You need to find the time for checking various charges and not just depend on one shooting session. Here's another little known issue that some shooters may, or may not have when trying something new. It all has to do with the shooter mentally knowing that he/she is doing something different.
