[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1959584, member: 17593"] I’m missing something here... Never shoot a dry barrel? I was told by a fine barrel maker not to shoot a "dry" barrel. Fouling is "wetting" the barrel, as is the thin film of oil left over from a bore snake pull through. Makes sense to me. I mean, the two surfaces being dry will "tear" at each other as a bullet (and hot gases and burning powder) passes through. Think about a frying pan, some foods will stick to those dry pans, but some oil sure helps to minimize it. [/QUOTE]
