I don’t have a lot of experience but I am being taught by some old timers that have hunted with black powder for decades.
Based on what they have shared, I think your primary use should dictate whether you clean after every shot or something else, more so than physical ease.
Strictly from a hunting perspective, I have been taught to clean after every 3 shots on the range during practice and never after every shot. I have also been taught that off season when I practice, I need to wear my hunting clothes and boots, and I need to reload standing, kneeling, and cross legged sitting. using only the gear I will hunt with.
Reason: In the field, especially with larger game like Elk and Moose, you need to be proficient in loading a quick follow up shot and as unlikely as it is, you may even need to load a third follow up shot.
That said, if your off-season range practice always involves cleaning between shots, with a brass range rod that you do not carry in the field, while sitting at a comfortable range table, you will build improper muscle memory. Then you will be more likely to flub things during the critical seconds it takes to reload in the field as you are standing, kneeling or sitting on uneven ground, in heavy clothing, after hours of physical exertion….as your wounded elk or moose gets back up and starts quartering away.
As I get more life experience, I will find out if this perspective pans out. Sounds right at this point.
