I know that when using BH209 it is not necessary to swab between shots but I can't seem to help myself - I always run a dry patch up and down between each shot. It always comes out with a pretty decent amount of black soot, possibly mostly from the primers (CCI 209Ms).
Thing is, I read recently that some recommend NOT swabbing between shots as it can affect accuracy.

If I'm out shooting for fun I don't swab. If I'm out working on a hunting load, I swab to get the bore as close to the condition it will be in when I go hunting.

This might not be the results others got.. but if I did not swab the accuracy seemed to improve. And then I noted after about ten shots it started to fall off again. Then I would swab. But not until the accuracy went south.

BH209 users - do you swab between shots?
