[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 732510, member: 33046"] Putting two in the same hole then having one shoot 1.5" isn't a flyer. Sorry but its the shooter or a slight load/pressure difference. If your TMZ's are shooting that good and loading good, switching to crushed ribs .... can... open your groups up significantly. I did some testing, mostly force testing and while doing so, figured what the heck. I had a box of crushed ribs (for the TMZ) and decided to shoot some. It opened up the group to over 4" and my rifle is capable of 1/4" groups with the supplied sabots. If your rifle is shooting that good, work on your form and breathing. 1 1/2" is not a flyer..... Move the chrono further away and......[B] PUT SOMETHING OVER THE READ OUT[/B]. [U]Sabots have been known to hit and destroy them[/U]. BLOCK THE READ OUT with something that will hold up to the sabot striking it. Don't hit the guides either. To the OP.............. Frontier Gander gave you SOUND advice and if you haven't been cleaning the carbon from your flame channel, it will certainly affect your groups. If your shooting for accurate groups, twist the drill in the flash channel after about every 6th shot fired, then shoot at least one primer by itself. Although some rifles will shoot a max load of BH209, many more rifles shoot between 100grs and 110grs much better. Encores and Pro Hunters seem to like 110grs volume very well. [/QUOTE]
