Are these balls .010 larger than the bore?????? That would make 'em hard to load if using a patch. Educate me.............DanielQuote:

Do they leave anything in the bore???? I tried saboted bullets in .50 cal. Hawken and could not get the "crud" out of the bore after that. Even a PRB was hard to load after that. No more "plastic" down MY barrels. LOL...................DanielQuote:
