What happens when and if you need a follow up shot, your shots wont be where there sighted in for??? A fouled bore shot will shoot the next shot in the same place.
Try getting your barrel squeaky clean for a follow up shot at a deer, I prefer to load and shoot and know where Im gonna hit.

Pretty close is'nt close enough, when I have to take a shot at say 100yds I want to be sure Im gonna hit where Im aiming not pretty close.
And what's so bad with a fouled bore for Hunting, it's not like your never gonna clean it again, and when your at the range you dont fully clean your barrel spotless between shots do you?

Which powder makes a lot of difference.
With some of the ascorbic acid powders its normal to get 20 or 30 shots before cleaning. You also need to take special precautions to keep the humidity out of it unless you live in a dry area.
Pyrodex the first sub and a very good powder, usually shot 2 to 4 times depending on the gun and load then swab.
777 a very accurate powder, it some times gets a very hard residue in the area just in front of where the bullet sits. You need to swab every shot.
Blackhorn, The clean when you get home powder, will shoot accurate all day without any swabbing, it is good to clean the carbon out of the flame channel between the primer pocket and the touch hole with a drill [turned by hand ] just take out the carbon not any metal. This powder is more expensive than some but not as expensive as 777 pellets. Since it reduced the size of my groups beyond any of my expectations I really like it, I also like cleaning the gun at home and shooting it at the range instead of all the swabbing. Lee

Aw, come on Breechplug. Do you really think I've ever needed a follow up shot? :s4: :s2: :s2:

Well, I guess I might have once. I don't see that a follow up shot (which is most likely to be at close range anyway) that hits two or three inches from point of aim is going to be a problem.

It took a long time and a lot of experimenting but my first shot will be right in that minute of angle group with the last one. If the same method would work for any one else I have no idea, I do know it works for my Triumph and that the knew Endeavor does the same [that made me smile] Lee

Your Funny Semi, LOL, you always make me laugh! I know you and I are great shots and we dont need them follow up shots. But here in N.Y. we get up to 6 tags, and say I have all 6 tags left for Late ML Season, I can take a deer, have em down and shoot 5 more as they come by, no time to clean, just load, then load up the Truck.

when i sight my hunting load in i clean my barrel and oil and dry patch again between every shot if i'm using t7. with blackhorn i don't worry about it anymore as my 3 knight's and the triumph all group within 1 1/2" of my first shot at 100yds.the longest shot i've taken at a deer was about 90yds.i guess i'm just lucky but i nnever had to take follow up shot....karl

Thanks for all of your responses guys! I'm shooting a CVA Accura using 250 Shockwaves and T7. I shot with 90 and 100 grains and I found I was more accurate with the 90 grains of powder. I did notice that hardened residue around near where the powder and sabot was sitting. It took a little work getting it out but the barrel is now squeeky clean.

Well thank's for putting up with us and hope we helped,LOL! Sure now you say your using a ACCURA. I have 3, I use 105gr's of Pyrodox RS a 240gr XTP Mag and T7 Primers. With a (fouled) bore I get 1"groups at 100yds and 2"+ groups at 200yds and took 6 deer with it this season, nice way to break her in.
Best of Luck to you!
