Default RE: cleaning /range vs field

ORIGINAL: Chris W.

At the range, I typically swab after every second, sometimesthird, shot. In the field, I do a quick reload with no swabbing. The difference in impact between my first and second shots is negligible to waste timewith swabbing in the field.
That's something best tried at the range first. I remember trying to load a bullet without swabbing in my Omega after I swtched to the 25 ACP ignition. It produced so much less fouling that I thought I could skip the swab for hunting. I got it stuck about 2" from being seated. Luckily I tried it at the range first so I knew I still had to swab after every shot while hunting. [&:]
