Important: When using propellants that are sulfur free (Triple 7, Pioneer Powder, etc.), it is recommended that the bore be swabbed with a wet patch between every shot. Pay particular attention to the area of the bore where the bullet seats, as fouling buildup is heaviest in this area. This procedure is necessary to remove any excees fouling that could potentially lead to short starting of the bullet.
Abosolutely true
IF you are getting the "
crud ring or the associated fouling" - if you are not then it may not always be necessary. With the White Ultra Mag I think I could load all day and never swab a shot. I have not done this but there really is no difference in it after 5 shots which I have done. The point is you had better make sure the bullet is seating on the powder.
