Been hunting for a while and no matter how good the shot, they still manage to run off. Sometimes they go on for what seems like forever.
When I harvest game, I always want get the clean shot -if possible -under ideal conditions. But this is not always the case. So I always load up the second shot as soon as possible if a second shot is needed. That is how I practise and it works for me. The idea of taking the time to get that wet patch out of a baggy and swabbing down the bore and then using a dry patch to get out the moisture and then loading the bore would be nice if the game would cooperate.
I don't want to sound harsh, just practible. Under ideal conditions I would love to swab the bore between shots. I just don't think this is a realistic idea or practise.
But this being said, it is all IMHO!
