I bedded a Ruger #3 in .45/70 that made patterns, not groups. The good news is it worked, she now shoots adequately enough to test some loads, 1-2" at 50 yards.
I have never used the granular poly shotshell buffer as manufactured by BPI and others. Any of you guys use it? Under which conditions do you find benefit?
In .45/70 with 400 cast, a couple scenarios: 24 gr 2400, 40 gr 3031, 12 gr Unique. These are typical of what I shoot in a Marlin, which ones would the buffer benefit the most by fully occupying case air space? I'm thinking to try it with 3031 which is a bit slow for the cartridge and somewhat dirty.
I can see the buffer protecting plain base bullets and extending the velocity at which they can be shot.
I have a mind to try it but would like to hear from any who have used it.
