Dirty bore shooting

RE: Dirty bore shooting
Thank's for chiming in Don! Accounts of the old hunters mention 2 things they did do: Blow up the breech or down the muzzle and the use of a wiping stick for a long series of shots. Powders like KIK and OE have softer fouling than others which is a great help in dirty shooting. I have been able to get 8 to 10 shots without any control. After that hydration of the fouling is necessary. I suspect the old hunters would blow to keep fouling soft and at some point they would use their wiping sticks to clean out the fouling and continue on. I'm working with this in a effort to consistently keep shots in a volley ball on deer, a basketball for elk and banging steel out to 300 yards, (Using the open barrel sights). Nice to just load and shoot a string without being concerned with fouling control after a few shots.
