Shooting my cva for the first time tomorrow,using american pioneer powder,do I have to swab between each shot with this powder or
can I shoot two or three between swabs?
You ought to be able to fire a number of shots before having to swab the bore using that stuff-I know when I used Clean Shot I did not have to wipe between shots, and Clean Shot was at least almost identical to APP, if not exactly the same!
I don't swab between shots with Pyrodex either. As a matter of fact, when Pyrodex first appeared on the market, the makers recommended that you NOT clean between shots. I don't know whether Hodgdon still makes that suggestion to Pyrodex users or not, but they used to say that shot-to-shot variation was less from fouled bores than from ones that were cleaned between shots when using Pyrodex.
