traditions Pa pellet

[brianpa40]

I use Hoppes benchrest no 9 and a wire brush some times G96.So I hope there is no plastic fouling I've heard of that before and try to make sure I get it out.I haven't been able to find any patches I think they are burning up. I have been shooting 75 and 80gr.So I will start over at 50 and work up a little and see if that helps if not I will go back to sabots.But I think with all this good advise I will be able to get RB to work.
Thanks everyone

G96 will definitely remove plastic fouling if you soak it....

Are your patches pre-lubed store bought?....No one knows how old store bought patches are....And lube can "rot " the fabric over time...

For what it's worth, when I mentioned the 1:28 twist I was looking at the Traditions PA Pellet Ultralight.

Apparently it has a different barrel than the original PA Pellet.

If this gun has a 1:48 twist, my earlier comments probably don't count. :redface:

patches are pre lubed ox yoke and are fresh I have a black powder shop I've delt with for 30yrs he has a fast turn over on things like this because he's the only strictly BP shop in the area and has been doing this for 50yrs.
I could of ask him about this problem but I wanted multiple opinions and possibilities.
I will still see what he has to.
Thanks again everyone I'm sure I will find the answer in the charge and patch.

That is definitely one of your problems...IMO

Thicker patch and lube it yourself.

A rough and rusty bore will mutilate patches....

Find your fired patches....They should look as though you could use them again....any holes, tearing, mutilation, or burning will result in poor accuracy.

They also added a fluted barrel. Kind of like white wall tires on an Amish buggy.
