Tacks i was usen some patch material to swab with that turned out too lighty weaved for shooten,its thicker than the other i usally use.Be going back to the other,can use the material fer a grease rag in the garage.Thought id try to get rid of the material some how.The flipen the patch over is a habit that goes back to them muzzle loaders i used to shoot.It aint really nessacarry since i was usen hardly any spit on the oneside any way,but the idea is too pick up any moisture from the spit left in the bore.Probably wasnt much of none any how.
That could be why that fussy 36 is pushen fouling down in the patten breech,maybe my cleanen patch is too thick an im worken it more than i need to.That darn pea shooter ::
 
The no-swap, all-day shooting/accuracy thing is a myth and marketing ploy.


How does that explain what we do then? Not having to clean and still shooting 1 1/2" groups at 100yds. at the end of the day?
:
: It appears your load needs some work - imagine, not being able to shoot all day without having to swab the bore - that shows your ball/patch/lube combo needs some work.
: Appears to me that having to "swab between shots" is THE MYTH and it's perpetrated by those who are trying to sell lubes and patches that don't work.
: I will continue to shoot all day without having to clean or swab the bore & I will continue to beat those who do, in the primitive competitions I now prefer.
 
Who needs5 shot's for hunting? (non-swabbers?)

The no-swap, all-day shooting/accuracy thing is a myth and marketing ploy. I don't care what they say,,I've out shot too many to believe it works.

ME! It takes all day to wait for six squirrels to line up side-by-side and cheek-to-cheek on a branch so I can fill my pouch with one shot. Heck, bunny hunting even with a four shot limit can take more than five shots. I generally shoot my rifle 10 times any day I venture out for small game hunting. Even on a slow day I hate to clean a rifle after just one shot - so I run through my two bullet blocks before I head back just for practice.

Swab vrs non swab,the great debate.Now before this ends up in swabers an non swabbers braggin about what we can or cant do im gonna start a new topic.Lets end this[url] one.In[/url] the new topic lets disscuse what we think goes on when the fire is lite an the ball moves down the bore,be it swabed for a consistant bore or non swabed with enough lube to shoot many times.That is where the real answer is.Of course we cant leave the barrel blowers or the moose milk shooters out either.I want to disscuse this with out getten into a what my groups are disscussion,cause that dont mean much.I can tell you i used cat pee for lube an shootem all in a hole at 200 yards an no one can prove me wrong,of corase it would be a fib. :bull:
The thread will be ...When the fire starts
