Rabbit:
Before I actually started shooting the CHPs, I washed and lubed them with Napier pellet lube (and of course removed the extra chunks of lead in the batch). With this process only, I have not had a flier yet.
I have since shortened the process to just blowing them off with a compressor and lubing them. I'm sure that sizing will help, but what a pain in the ass.
I may size a batch for anything bigger than a regional FT event or a big money shoot, but normally I'm just going to blow and lube.
They are definitly bigger and almost have to be forced down the breech, with two definite clicks (head entry and skirt entry), but once they are in, they are just fine.
The fact that they are harder is a definite advantage, less distortion, far less culls, and I'm not affraid of damaging them as I handle them.
One advantage that I did not expect, was far better accuracy at 45-55 yard targets with less drop. I guess they actually fly better once they leave the barrel.
Thanks for the tip.
