Title: Disk Extreme Accessories Came!!
Post by: kerrdog on June 07, 2013, 03:19:39 PM: I've been waiting for the UPS truck like it's Christmas! My thumbhole stock, ultimate range rod, scope rings and bases, and easy-load boat-tail sabots (blue) finally came!

I was having lots of trouble loading the bloodlines and Barnes TMZ bullets with yellow sabots, even with my TC power rod. I resorted to bore butter (which makes the bullets keyhole) to make them load. The ultimate range rod puts them down just fine. I'm still curious to see how the blue sabots work with the barnes TMZs. They do load nice and easy, even with a regular ram rod.

Yes I know I can't hunt with the scope. I just wanna use it to reduce user error at the range to decide my favorite load. I can't wait!!

I had some great groups, but had occasional key-hole flyers in the target. :yike: Either those blue easy-load sabots were too loose to engage the rifling every time, or the rifling was filling up with fouling. The yellow sabots that came with the Barnes TMZs were really hard to load when I first got to the range, but after about 25 shots, they seemed to go down much easier. Maybe the barrel just needs to be broken in a little bit? :dunno:

Anyway. I'm excited about my next trip to the range, and think I'll have my groups tight and consistent enough to lose the scope and switch over to a peep sight!

Thanks for the tips!
