Curious as I forgot to check this out when working up loads. I normally wet patch dry patch my barrel between shots when using T7, Pyrodex or black powder. I know how many shots I can get with accuracy from my Knight MK-85 with Pyrodex, but neglected to see how many shots I can get from my CVA Optima with T7 before accuracy suffers.
Under hunting conditions I have patched as above in the past when possible, but what if I don't patch?
Those of you with experience with T7, shooting saboted bullets, how many shots without patching can you shoot before groups become erratic or too large for deer sized game at 100 yds?
Again, just curious as there might be an occasion where more than one deer could be shot from the same stand during the same sit as we are allowed 2 deer per day here now. Normally, one shot one down dead deer but there could be a time when a follow up is needed and possibly have the 3rd load in the barrel without patching.
Oh, and btw, my rifle puts the first cold clean shot in the group so no issues there.
Thanks in advance for replies.
