Cleaning The Slug Gun and Patches

[Kenny Wasserburger]

My current method of cleaning between shots has been one wet down to the powder bed area let soak for 10 seconds while I remove the sealed Ignition. Then this patch is up and tossed, a second wet patch both sides. 1 dry patch both sides, Then the loading tube. I do not oil the barrel but use .003 100% cotton rag vellum paper cross patches, lubed with Nye Oil as Via Rich Hicks. This seems to have pretty excellent accuracy.

Thoughts, suggestions, I have tried Freezer paper and the rifle runs well with it, but of course it is not Legal in NRC Matches.

Kenny,

It was a shame that Rich Hicks passed away. He was a pretty nice guy. He is who Dave Casey flew in to Ohio here to shoot with at Canal Fulton. I had driven down there to the range to watch them shoot a couple times.

Dave Casey is into the slug guns also.

Oh yeah Brother Casey and I shoot together now and then mostly at Cody in the NRC Matches. Brother Dave has the coolest Barnes Picket rifle I have ever seen off the charts on the cool factor and Dave shoots it quite well.

Winds continue here so no slug gunning today. Had hope to try a shorter patch, It did cool down into the lower 90's though.
