Default RE: Patch after 50 shots with no wiping between shots

Shooting 50 shot range sessions without wiping between shots is not the news...been doing that most weekends from April through November for a few years now justusing natural lube 1000 patches...the trick there is our humidity is mdeium to high during those months so the fouling never hasa chance to dry out and set up.

The news is that I can now do it every Saturday during the cold, dry, winter months too...the Natural Lube 1000 patches were not wet enough...but experimenting with the Hoppes liquid lube on my last severalSaturday range sessions I found it to beoutstanding, never had to wipe between a single shot.

Moisture is the key.

Mositurehas to get into the bore one way or another to keep the fouling soft so that every time a patched ball is seated it wipes the walls clean from the previous shot...the moisture will besucked into the bore out of high humidity air in less than a minute...or...it can be put into the bore with a good liquid lube like Hoppes...complete name is:

Hoppes No9 PLUS BP Solvent & Patch Lube
