[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 350778, member: 1007"] I am not 50 but I am an advocate of lubing the barrel before the first foul shot. I believe that there is less copper fouling during the 1st shot. This cuts down on the copper fouling of sequential shots. I have NO scientific proof to back this up but it seems to have worked consistently for me with all of my rifles when visually inspected. I store clean bores with some sort of anti corrosive and swab clean and re-lube with fresh oil just before the first shot. An old BR shooter shared that trick with me. Another thing I have seen with both the dry method AND the lubed method is notable velocity differences between the 1st and sometimes the 2nd foul shots and the rest of the shots. I typically see a velocity difference with all 1st shots from a cold bore but only a few FPS above average where the 1st one or two foul shots are vastly different from the average. [/QUOTE]
