Yep, kinda been doing that for several years now.. I shoot T7 and I shoot my rifle prior to the season to verify POI... then I patch it with a windex patch - each time I shoot during the season -and them put a light coat of oil in the bore each time I might shoot it during the hunting season. The rifle never gets stripped down cleaned until the end of the hunting season or until I switch guns...

Funny part in all of this is the rule.... "when shooting sabots shoot from a clean dry bore" - my bore is always semi-clean and lightly lubed... works wonderfully...

In a recent conversation with Del Ramseyat MMP sabots was along this same line... I was asking about the difference(s) between the new Hornady "low Drag" red sabot and the standard MMP HPH-3p-EZ load... His response was that the Hornady is lubed (hornady specification) for easier loading - while the the 3p is unlubed. In my mind i am taking this to mean that somebody other than you and I have found the value oflightly lubed bore or sabot -

Now, the truth behind my decision - since I do hunt such lously weather here in Idaho for a big part of the season - i really did not want a dry unprotected bore - that is the real reason i started lightly lubing the barrel (prevent rusting) - but it served a couple of purposes for me...

I have splained this semi theoryto semi and i thought he was going to run a speriment... but again it works for me.
