my first attempt at wiping

[Opencountry]

Opencountry, I am going to try your method, I am trying to push down a wet and dry patch at the same time with the delrin rod, just to speed things up, even though time is on my side

I found that I was leaving the firing line earlier using my wiping technique during competition than those using blow tubes. It was very hot, perhaps 95 degrees and very dry, and many of the shooters were having to put a dozen breaths down their bores to control fouling. Once you get used to wiping, the routine, it is a fairly fast and efficient procedure. There were a couple guys who with their homemade lubes were able to keep up with me, but the ones using DGL and SPG fell far behind in the very dry and hot conditions. When you're wiping it makes no difference what lube you are using; the first damp patch turns the dry fouling into a wet paste. I run a second damp patch to get the bore really clean. Some shoot after the first. You'll have to experiment to see what works well for you. I like the results I get with two.
