Do you shoot over lube or a dry Barrel ? - 03/27/15
Do you shoot over a lube/oil or over a dry bore?
I live in very humid enviroment and keep the bore of my rifles lightly lubed with oil .
When I get ready to shoot I run 2 or 3 dry patches down the bore to get rid of any excess oil that might bulge the barrel.
But I never use a solvent just dry patches.
I have read to NEVER shoot over a completely dry bore for best accuracy and less barrel wear.
I have read to ALWAYS Shoot over A LIGHTLY lubed bore to prevent rust and lessen barrel wear.
What is your preferred Method for best accuracy and rust Protection?
And explain WHY you use the method you use.
