Default RE: Oil in the barrel /will it cause misfires?

No Chuck.... you could of packed a lunch & stayed the entire day.
Sometimes, I spend four hours there shooting up-to 40 shots without a cleaning.

I generally swab after every 2nd shot -- even after using magnum powder charges of 777. I use both sides of a damp patch - then both sides of a dry patch -- then re-load.

After every several shots, I slightly loosen - re-hand-tighten my breechplug so it doesn't even think about seizing.., lol. After I'm done shooting those 40 shots, I loosen the plug two complete revolutionary turns until I get it home.

All my swabbing is done with a brass brush. I only use a jag for bullet-seating. I bring two ramrods to the range... one for brush - one for jag. Get a couplescrew-on T-handles or roundedgrips for the end of your ramrods.... much easier & less painful... lol
