Sabot I am also using 777 (100gr/2 pellets). Typically, how long do you leave the barrel dirty? throughout the season? & how many shots do you think i'll be able to put through there before I MUST clean it?
Remember I said a semi clean barrel - when I left the rock pit today I pushed through one Windex patch and a dry patch. When got home I ran 3 then the fourth patch it comes out fairly clean the barrel really isn't cleaned as I would call clean - but I am not concerned about corrosion at at all plus the last patch was a patch lightly treated with Slip 2000 (a bore oil). Befroe I load I will push a couple od dry patches through it take it out in the garage and pop a couple of primers then the same dry patches again. I will load it Tuesday night- it will spend thenight in the garage and I'll go hunting with it Wednesday - It will remain loaded until I shoot it at an animal - could be a week could be a couple of weeks. UNLESS! I feels that I might have some way compromisedthe powder laod in a really bad rain/snow stormor dropped it in a creek.
I will tear it down and clean it at the end of the season and then do my whole barrel treatment thing.
But remember I feel quite confident about what I am doing after may years of doing my routine...
