[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1079117, member: 30902"] It's going to depend on your gun and your primers. Shotgun primers burn pretty dirty so there's a lot of carbon residue left after popping even just one. I shoot Winchester 209's in mine. All guns are going to shoot differently with a clean bore vs a dirty one so I never shoot with a clean bore period. Some powders burn a lot dirtier than others as well so the amount of buildup of residue per shot is going to vary with the type of powder you are using. I'm still a relative Rookie but I followed a lot of very good advice and settled on shooting BH209 and other than swabbing with a damp "spit patch" between shots followed by one clean dry patch I'm not cleaning at all during shooting sessions and don't notice much difference in accuracy or pattern shift with additional shots beyond the first group.
