Respectfully a question - why is it necessary to swab with pure IPA or ISO-HEET between shots? Before shooting to remove oils is one thing but between shots I am not making the connections??? I wonder how the traditionalist would handle this one?

Those of you that use this practice doesn't bother me either as long as I am not shooting with you,as I still hesitate putting the muzzle in my mouth and blowing back down the barrel after a shot. I know it is done and I don't think there is a recorded event talking about the negatives of that adventure - It is just something I would not want my son to do so I don't think I will either. I am also not sure that I would want him to stick a flammable swab down a hot barrel either - so I think I will continue to do what I do.

But then again I do things that are different than you do so does that make things right or wrong?
