[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1512083, member: 33046"] I've had rifles that required fouling, basically because I might end up taking more than one whitetail a day. I never knew rather my first shot may be 60yds or 200yds, so fouling the bore was a must. I never had any issues with pitting or rust, but there's a few things I did to help avoid it. You can cover the barrel with a finger from a surgical glove. Never take it from the cold into a warm house. If I was ever in doubt, I'd just shoot the round out and reload it. One thing you can do that ….. may ….. help with the first shot, is make sure ALL lubricants are out of the barrel, then use a couple patches with 91% alcohol and swab the barrel. Then bust a couple primer carriers by themselves and load for hunting. [/QUOTE]
