[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1512234, member: 22335"] I usually hunt with mine dirty, as the POI clean is slightly different. I’m going to try to use a Bore Snake to wipe out most of the residue, and see if that still leaves enough to keep the same POI for the second shot and beyond while avoiding surface rust dust this year. I tried the alcohol trick last year, and it made the bore too clean. It was IMPOSSIBLE to load my Barnes T-EZ, and I’ve shot plenty of them previously when I hadn’t used alcohol to clean. Imagine two big guys standing next to a rifle, both putting their weight into the loading ram, having to force the bullet/sabot down as best they can. After that, I’ll never get the bore that “clean” again. [/QUOTE]
