When at the range, how many shots before swabbing the barrel when using APP? Please explain the procedure. 1. Do you remove the breechplug to swab? 2. Will it make a big difference in accuracy if you do not swab?
1. Naw, you only remove the breechplug when the day's shooting is over, and you're cleaning up the gun to put it away.
2. I've not tried APP. Have used Clean Shot, APP's predecessor. I did not swab between shots with that powder, and failing to swab did not degrade accuracy for me.It shot very well w/o swabbing..... According to APP literature, they recommend NOT SWABBING between shots!
I don't swab with Pyrodex, either! I DO swab with T7, because if you don't, you sometimes can't get the bullet all the way down on the powder -
NOT GOOD!
