Well the process of test loads and slugs for Colorado has started.
While shooting yesterday I started to think about all those guys who spit and swab after each shot while practicing. During a hunting situation you would not have time to spit and swab. You would be lucky to get 2 shots off most 3.I am also taking into account that the spit and swab method will give you the best groups. Question- Why would you sight your gun in for hunting with this method? Would it be more sensible to sight in the way you hunt, no more than 3 shots at a time then clean the bore and start again.
Well, that's what I do. I have two hawken-type rifles with slow-twist barrels that both shoot Maxi-Balls very accurately with NO cleaning between shots - one using Triple 7, and the other using ClearShot.
