[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2754113, member: 75451"] I’ve been reading these posts with interest! I’ve never heard of the lighter fluid cleaning bore process, though I’ve seen the dry patch method. Once I learned the fallacy about constantly cleaning and keeping the bore lubed ….I changed my “stratergery” 😁! Maybe I’m lazy, just taking a shortcut, but for years just fired a round or 3 to foul the bore….as this , in my mind, would replicate what the rifle bore would be throughout the hunting season. With the present component shortage I may rethink “fouling shots”…..at least briefl! 😉 And, contrary to what some others experienced, I have definitely observed first shot or several shots, different than previous zero! With my limited number of rifles and experience, my findings may be different that that of others. I have a couple of small bore rifles (.223 REM) that show first round from a cleaned and oil patch wiped bore to be off as much as 2”…often requiring 3 shots to achieve the previous zero. Our medium bore (.338 and .375) are usually near zero ….but, get a couple of “fouling shots” anyway! memtb [/QUOTE]
