Poll: Do You Hunt with a Clean or Fouled Barrel?
Hi All,
I am curious to find out how many of you hunt with a fouled barrel and how many of you go to the hunting woods with aclean barrel that contains no fouling. My Triumph seems to shoot better with a fouled barrel and the new BH209 powder will allow a hunter to go several weeks, even months, without cleaning the barrel. I called Western Powders, maker of BH209 ,and they said that many guys have been saying that they do not clean their barrels before going hunting becuase often times the first shot out of their clean barrel is a little eratic. So tell us what each of you hunt with, a clean or dirty barrel. |

It depends on which rifle I am shooting.

I would call my barrels > semi-fouled < I shoot the gun rior to hunting season - clean the barrel with windex patches - then very lightly oil the bore for rust protection and it stays that way all season until I strip clean it. If i shoot the gun during the hunt or the season I repeat the process again... I can get away with this because i shoot T7 which does not produce the corrosive suphur residueand is not nearly as corrosive as Pyro's of real BP's. |

Squeaky clean, and the load stays in until I shoot something or the season ends.

Semisane,
Do you have any issues with your first shot out ofa clean barrel not shooting as straight as say your 4th or 5th shot? |
RE: Poll: Do You Hunt with a Clean or Fouled Barrel?
ORIGINAL: Semisane Squeaky clean, and the load stays in until I shoot something or the season ends. +1. However i will normally not keep the same load in for the whole season. But if I donot shoot for 2 or 3 days, I will shoot it, clean it, and reload it. I am not sure why you would be concerned about the fourth or fifth shot. But then we are only allowed one deer here at a time in WV. Tom. |

Clean here also. At the ranges I get shots during muzzleloader 2 or 3 inches would be nothing...5 or 6 inches wouldnt be a big deal. I try to keep my ml's fanatically clean. Like semi I also leave it loaded and shoot t7.
