Swabbing between shots

[NChunt1]

Do you guys take the breach plug out and run a patch down the barrel in-between shots with blackhorn 209.

 

[Remington700]

I do not. I believe that is a perk of shooting BH209. I swab it out after 4 or 5 shots.

Nope, i can shoot 50 times with no build up or accuracy change with bh209 and crushrib sabots

I've shot 30 rounds through mine using bh209 and harvester crush rib sabots. My accuracy never had any issues or change in accuracy and I never ran a patch between rounds.

I've gotten to where I run a dry patch after each shot, to clear the "dust" out. Seems to load more consistently, for me anyway.

Even if you do run a patch between shots, no need to pull the breech plug. Patch will come out with the jag on your ramrod.

Using triple 7, I do run a spit patch then a dry patch while on the bench, just out of habit i guess. I have done without between first and second shot with zero pi change. Can't recall ever running a patch down the barrel between shots when I have reloaded after shooting a deer.

Iirc Knight used to recommend a "spit" patch after each shot in the field. But that was with the old standby pyrodex and other sub powders. I always did it if I needed a second shot while hunting too.

Me too.

I do
I use BH209 but the Barnes TMZ 250s are hard to load

I always just tried to get reloaded as quick as I could after shooting an animal in case I needed another shot when the smoke cleared. Poi shift on a slightly fouled barrel from clean in my accura is very minimal.

That was with pyrodex too tho.
