After shooting my 50 cal TC Omega at the range this weekend, I noticed that my groups tightened up considerably after 5 or 6 shots. Was using 100 gr by volume of BH209 with Fury 285 .50 Universal Fit and later 265 .453 in Harvester crush rib sabots. With CCI 209 magnum shotgun primers. Started with a clean barrel and fired one primer through the breach. Groups improved from 1.5" to 1.0" or better after about half dozen shots without cleaning. I've been cleaning after every session in the past and always starting with a fresh bore next session or hunt.
After reading that many smokeless powder shooters leave their barrels fouled through a season, does anybody do this with Black Horn? I know its much less corrosive than black powder or many other substitutes, but does anybody go with a fouled barrel any length of time? Thanks
