I would not swab with anything water based when using Blackhorn. If you want to try a good mix for swabbing it use 50/50 Hoppes and 91% rubbing alcohol. Very lightly damp patch too....and i mean lightly. Personally i find it a waste of time when shooting sabots. Helps a little when shooting sabotless but if you size the bullet right its not really needed.

Remember to clean up when you are done with a centerfire solvent like Hoppes #9. Ballistol works great too if you dont mind the smell of anise. Push a dry patch or 2 through the bore first with the plug removed. Then use your solvent. Makes things quicker and less patches.
