I am new to muzzle loading and need some advice on range cleaning for sight in.
I have a CVA Optima V2 stainless barrel. I have been watching video's and they show running a squeezed out cleaning patch down the barrel a few times and then a dry one a few times between shots during sighting in. After this they are firing a primer once before loading and shooting the next shot.
I am assuming they are just trying to keep everything uniform from shot to shot and simulating a first shot of the day in the field conditions.
I am going to be using 777 pellets.
CVA video's don't show taking out the breech plug while doing this.
It seems to me that the cleaning patch is going to push all the debris down where the plug goes and not get out the barrel?
Can I get some advice on this please?
