I basically swab every shot.
Lube:
1 cup Goop hand cleaner
1 cup Minwax floor polish
1/2 gallon of water
Put in pot and bring to low boil. Stir occasionally. Allow to cool and put it in an old/cleaned Elmers glue bottle.
At the range:
Grab yer lube.
Grab a cleaning patch.
Drench the cleaning patch with lube from the Elmers bottle.
Stick cleaning patch on end of your range rod.
Place pillow ticking on the bench.
Squirt 5 or 6 drops of lube (size of a nickel or dime) onto pillow ticking and smoosh it in with your finger. Make a circle about 1/2 dollar size by smearing the lube on the pillow ticking.
Put the pillow ticking on the end of the barrel with the LUBED side towards the powder.
Start ball.
Cut excess pillow ticking off with sharp knife.
Drive ball home.
Prime and fire.
The cleaning patch on your range rod is good for about 10 shots. Replace the patch and squirt a little lube on it.
Keep on shooting.
I shot 35 balls last weekend. .530 balls and lubricated pillow ticking over 55gr of 3F Goex. Never had any fouling problems.
