I have done as Sabotloader and fired the round off, then just swabbed the barrel "clean" if you can call it that. Then in the morning I can load it without shooting it, and go hunting again. Also I do oil the barrel at night and then swab that all out before loading the next day.
Al-right - Dave!
I do the swab thing also but you really never get all the oil out, besides I do want a little in to protect the bore while I am hunting from day to day, in the cold weather of the mornings and the T-shirt weather of the afternoons - then in the winter it is always damp out there.
You know the one thing I did not mention was the difference in the humidity here and there - which goes back to those experiments that we did leaving the gun loaded for days - out during the day and in during the night. Average humidity is a factor...
