Default RE: cleaning /range vs field

At the range, i do patch in between shots. I use a simple windex patch that I prepare in bulk. Cayugad has a solution of windshield washing fluid and alcohol, that he uses and other people do you other things. I patch between shots at the range because that will be the same condition my bore will be in when I am hunting.

In the field - if I needed to quick load I could and would not loose to much, but in most cases I do run a spit patch after a shot @ an animal. Very seldom do I run a dry patch - as I "THINK" I have the moisture thing figured out - even at the range. I would SUGGEST that a dry patch be ran any time you think you might have left moisture in the barrel.

I posted a thing about how I prepare my range patches "Damp Bore Patches" you could look at. If you try this make sure you press as much windex out as you can with your thumbs....
