RE: Barrel protection while hunting????????
SHulion,
You may want to try using WD-40 for protection, followed by 1 or 2 dry patches. WD-40 is pretty thin to start with.
Best option would be in the future to try degreasing your barrel prior to a shooting session, then use the WD-40-dry-dry patches. Then check point of impact of your 1st shot in relation to the next 2-4 shots ( to see if it shoots out of your group). Then you would know what to expect.
Good luck, and good hunting
