I would do 5 shots of BH209 (same load) without swabbing and then compare that with 3 shots of the same load swabbed between each shot. In an email conversation I was having with Randy Wakeman, he insisted that letting the sabot be the "wiper" as you load had a more consistent effect on the bore than swabbing.
