[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1964362, member: 33046"] The 2 fired primers without propellant, fouls the barrel more than enough. Its a process used by the top inline muzzleloader competitors in the Nation. Lubrication in modern inline rifles can be your enemy and rob you of accuracy. Some guys want to run a wet patch between rounds, then they'll run two dry patches down and think that the barrel is dry, then wonder what happened to their groups. Well known issue with muzzleloaders. That is mostly the reason Western doesn't recommend swabbing between rounds, short of specific barrels. These muzzleloaders are not sending bullets at break neck speed out the barrel, well unless its a SML rifle, which the Paramount is not. There's very little, if any copper left in the barrel and there's no need to use copper killer/cleaner until accuracy drops off, even with a SML. My Rock Creek custom barrel will send the first cold bore shot to the same POI as all following rounds. The barrel is cleaned of all lubricants prior to a session and two primers only are used to foul the barrel. This process is used rather shooting BH or SML. With BH velocities are at 2,300fps and with SML velocities are at 2,900fps. I thoroughly cleaned it the other day, including copper. One very faint spot on a patch after 500 or so rounds of both propellants, all bullet to bore. [/QUOTE]
