Default RE: Omega Cleaning Between Shots

I shoot in my back yard, so I wait for no one. I don't put anti sieze on it every time either. There is no need if you are just pulling it out again. I just put it in hand tight. When I clean the gun at the end of the day I put a new coating of anti sieze back on it.

I find most that have trouble with breech plugs getting stuck it is from putting them in too tight to begin with, or shooting too many shots with out breaking it loose like Cayugad does. I normally walk down to the target (100 yards) to look at the shot, then walk back pull the plug, clean the barrel and plug and reassemble it. Then I shoot off one cap before I load and fire it. I can shoot about 3 shots in 20 minutes or so. Normally this is for sighting in or working up a new load though.

I do shoot it sometimes without cleaning or anything between shots just to see where they will impact. Incase I have to take a follow up shot in the field.

I'm just anal I guess. I even compeletely clean a rifle before switching to another type ammo.
