RE: Your swabbing/cleaning/preparation procedures?
Take some Windex or pure alcoholand spritz a patch damp but not soaking wet. Swab the barrel in short strokes like three inches, working from the muzzle to the breech. Bring that patch up and flip it over and do it all again. Now take a dry patch and again, swab that barrel in short strokes down, up, flip, down, up. Now push another dry patch all the way to the breech and pop a primer or #11 cap. Pull that patch and look at it. If it shows burn marks, pop two more primers or caps. Now load it and go hunt. This has removed all the oil, cleaned the barrel, dried the barrel and opened the fire channel.
On the range, lets say you have shot and it is now time to swab. Again, with Windex or alcohol, damp not wet. Swab down and up, flip, down and up. Dry patch down and up, and flip. Another dry patch down and up and flip down and up.. load and shoot.
