Default pyrodex pellets

Hate to sound dumb, but, do you spit patch between shots? Can it be cleaned with 50/50 mixture of alcohol and windex?

When working up a load I recommend using a damp patch of the mentioned mixture between shots. Work the patch down the bore in short strokes. After reaching bottom, pull it, turn it over and work the other side. Then two dry patches and your good to go.

Before you go hunting though, it does not hurt to try shooting say three or four shots in a row, if the rifle will let you, just to see where they hit. When you're in the field sometimes swabbing is not a good option.
