Every body has to find what will work for them and their special gun and situation.
Personally I use Montana x bore protectant and I do not fire a fouling shot so I had to fined a way to keep that first shot out of a clean barrel in the group so I would have confidence in it.
My method works for me. I clean the bore protectant out of the barrel with my cleaning solution [ 50/50-#9 and alcohol] fire two 209's clean again with solution and dry with clean dry patches fire two more 209's, and load.
