Today, I was shooting my Marlin 336A for the internet match. I had shot a couple of ho-hum loads and, in desperation, started a group using my hunting loads. Shot the only 5 I had loaded and noticed they snuggled into a nice group, so I loaded up another 5 and shot them. One dad-burn flier (I'm sure it couldn't have been the jerk behind the trigger) spoiled an otherwise good group!
When I finished I looked at the muzzle and it looked wet, as if I was shooting black powder and breathing throught the bore. Is this an indication I am over-lubbing the boolit? Said boolit is the RCBS 180-30-FN and the grease grooves (but not the crimp groove) were lubbed with FWFL. There is usually a gray, dry look at the muzzle when using other boolits. Thanks, JDL
