During hunting season I would clean the bore and a light oil patch with balistol then before I load the next day or weekend I clean the bore with a patch sprayed with brake cleaner (degreaser) this strips the oil so i can fire the fouling shot.
Pretty much the same routine I follow, for the same reason you are stating that first shot... Te gun has already been fired and POI checked, the barrel has been patched clean and a very light coat of oil reapplied. I, however, do not do the brake cleaner thing. At home prior to loading I will run a couple of windex patches then foloowed by 3/4 dry clean patches to get as much back out of the bore as I can. Then off to the garage and pop a couple of caps - patch the barrel again with dry patches.
I know a lot of people disagree but I never strip clean the gun until after hunting season so the barrel is theory is always fouled, fouled to the point of being accurate when I shoot it. The other thing I do wrong is that there is always a VERY LIGHT, almost so little you would never know it was there,coat of oil on the bore. with the lousy Idaho weather we hunt in I really do not want a dry bore. This bit of bore protection has not affected accuracy.
