No, it was fine. I was responding to this part, specifically, the WHY part and the best accuracy part:

If you're convinced you need to hunt with oil in the bore to prevent rust and you have a system that works for you, that's the reason to put oil in the bore, or the WHY.

Not what some guy hawking cleaning products on the internet has said. Because his advice is ridiculous.

If you were to take a poll on here (long range forum) and ask how many follow his advice to never shoot through a dry bore, the answer would be zero. Long-range shooters tend to shoot a lot, and also want to get the best accuracy from their rifles they can. Neither of which is compatible with "never shooting through a dry bore."

And I know you didn't ask about cleaning, but you did say that the guy on your link was some kind of "authority" so I was just pointing out that his advice on cleaning is ridiculous too.




A wise man is frequently humbled.
