Take it back out to the range and shoot some more at 100 yards. Take note of where the first shot hits - that would be comparable to a hunting shot.
I understand UC,
but unfortunately this was the one time I had to shoot my gun before hunting season, as I have many time constraints on me right now.
However I feel confident that the gun is now sighted in properlyand everything should be fine as long as I do my part (for which I also have a great deal of confidence).
Although I didn't say in my initial post. I walked down the range to check the target each time allowing time for the barrle to cool (plus it took me a while to complete all the steps I was doing between shots (I'm no Merriwether Lewis, yet
)) and there were other shooters to "wait on" as well. I never did feel the slightest "warmth" in the barrel even right after a shot.
Take the bore butter completely out and apply a light coating of a quality gun oil such as BreakFree CLP. Stow the bore butter permanently. Be sure to swab out the oil before firing again - couple of alcohol patches/couple of dry patches. No oil or lube between shots - only after a thorough cleaning.
Will do. I'm assuming I can remove it by using repeated swabbings from those pre soaked cleaning patches. I'll work on her.
