just for giggles i tried pulling a bore snake through every 10 shots.
then after 20 shots. then after 50. in each case shot number 1 was 2 inches out of the group.
my shoulder hated me that day.
in that particular 30-30 i only shot powder coated cast bullets so had no leading or copper fouling.
in the 30-30 i shoot jacketed in i polished the bore when i got it and it has never fouled.
in my old 1926 savage 99 30-30 i scrub every 20 rounds with a brush and patches, with a bore snake between each magazine fired.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
