I had planned on running a couple of patches thru to clean out the butter befor shooting. The guy told me that was best. I will continue swabbing between each round also. I'm gonna set another target stop 50 yards from my bench, and start with open sights. I plan on being there awhile. It's nice to have your own shooting range. If I get bored, I might bring the bow with and do alittle string action too! Here's my youngest last week with the 22-250.
