At the range, I run a spit patch (front & back) through the bore after each round. This keeps the fouling consistent for consistent shots and makes reloading easier too.

I give the gun a full, thorough cleaning at the end of every day it' s fired - even if only 1 or 2 rounds were fired. About the only exception to this when on a hunting time. If I' m out in the boonies for 2 or 3 days, I' ll usually wait until the hunt is over before giving it a good cleaning. Sometimes even then, I' ll run 3 or 4 spit patches through it at the end of the day as long as the gun has been discharged & unloaded.

Yeah, I know,............I' m a little anal on gun care - but you almost HAVE to be with blackpowder equipment.
