Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Do you shoot over lube or a dry Barrel ?

I am coating all my barrels to help preserve them.

Wife and I shot for years in competition... 20K rounds a year or so.

We would shoot upwards to or over 500 rounds between cleanings.

I don't ever recall oiling a barrel after cleaning it after I found it to be a waste.

And lets just say my area ain't low on humidity....

As to the first shot... I find that even with or without oil, after storing for months... the first shot is generally a bit off the mark...
