[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 3171971, member: 4715"] When working up a load or sighting in, I want the barrel absolutely clean between shots because, like PBramble, I want to know where the first shot with a clean, cold, dry bore is going. During muzzleloader season, I load my rifle the night before opening morning and it doesn't get unloaded or cleaned unless I shoot a deer/hog or when I'm done for the season. My rifle, and every rifle I have worked with, does not shoot the same with a clean verses fouled barrel.......I don't want to leave my barrel fouled for a week during muzzleloader season, so I clean between shots while sighting in so every shot is from a cold, dry, clean barrel. As to how I do it......(I'm use Triple 7 powder).....while sighting in, between shots I swab the barrel using plain water to dampen (not wet, just damp) the first patch or two......I always follow the water patch with patches damp with cheap walmart brake cleaner. The walmart brake cleaner is non chlorinated, removes any plastic fouling left by the sabot and evaporates quickly, drying out any water that the first patches left in the barrel. When the brake cleaner evaporates, you have a clean, dry and cold barrel every time. When I clean and put the rifle away, run a patch with remclean or some other light oil through the barrel and wipe it down to prevent rust. There are other ways to do it.......I've been doing it this way for decades and it has always worked for me. [IMG]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1976/31750374148_f1bf1c19dd_c.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
