hey floatinghat, I think the next trip to the range I'm going to try loose powder with a traditions 350 lead lubed, I will shoot the first shot and leave the fouling. The 2nd and 3rd and 4th shot I will spit swab in between each. Do you use a slotted jag with a spit on one side swab and then flip over to dry swab again and then shoot. leaving the breech plug in correct?  Thanks for the reply

This what I do,  I'll run a dry patch a couple of passed in a clean and maybe lightly oiled bore.  Then I snap 3-4 caps, then I load my powder, sabot/PRB/wad/conical and shoot. My swab is I lick a patch and run it twice and repeat loading.  This is my cycle, if a the range I crack open my breech plug every 8 to 10 shots (T73F).  When home I do a complete cleaning.

Let us know if that helps.
