I forgot to mention that I do damp swab after each shot, and my reasoning for that is- that will be the condition of my bore in a real hunting situation.[/blockquote]
Since
Cdadbrought this up again I guessI would like to explain a bit if I can make it make sense????
With the White I can shoot several sabots in a row without swabbing if necessary. The reason I swab is, during hunting season I might load the gun on Sunday hunt with it all week and I might shoot it on the next Sunday or even the next Sunday after that, just hard telling. But all that time I am hunting I do not want to worry about powder residue from previous shots in the barrel doing any kind of damage to the barrel, hence I do somewhat clean the barrel after each shot because that is the way it will be during hunting season. The other thing I do to protect the barrel, which is also a
no-no - I know, but I do put a very,very, verylight coat of bore oil back in the barrel. I feel this way the barrel is protected even in lousy damp weather. I have never had this affect hunting accuracy at all.
At the beginning of the season (October) I will shoot the gun 3-5 times to check the accuracy swab the barrel with windex a couple of patches dry the barrel and it will not get stripped cleaned until the end of the season unless I do something drastic like drop it in a creek or slip and fall and lose it in the mud. Of course the exterior is wiped down every day. In December it will get the strip down.
All of this is my way not the best suggested way by most.
