Putting corrosion aside, if you're pouring water out of the barrel then how much does the wet bore throw off the shot?
Made about a 200 yard shot so couldn't have been off that much. I have not run an accurate gauge on that barrel but can detect no damage. Not something I want to test. This incident was a down pour that caught me off guard and I had about 20 deer in front of me so could not take shelter or get tape, poncho etc.
Agree don't clean a rifle during the season unless it is something like the above incident. Tape in my pack but sometimes I will drop this when stalking to reduce snags and silhouette. My better barrels will put the first shot with the oiled then dry patch routine within a half inch or less of the main post fouling group, these are the keepers.
