Normally I would do a "wet" patch and a dry patch. Just wondering if it can be removed/lessened by using a brush? One of our Optima's won't allow a fully seated loading after 2 shots.
Thanks for replies.
I discovered that same cleaning process by mistake this past weekend! Cleanup in my Knights was so much easier!

We are hunting deer. We are allowed to shoot 2 deer a day. Where we hunt there is a pasture about 100 yds by 150 yds that we set up in a large hickory tree. We have shot quite a few doubles in this field with both MZ and modern rifle. After shooting 2 deer, we will not go to the downed deer with an empty rifle. Hence the original question. Attaching a couple pics of doubles.After 2 shots - afield?
What are you hunting?
A brush will take down the crud ring, to me tho, it seems easier to just hit it with a spit patch. Especially in the field, already having the jag on the ram rod, not having to put on a brush, just spit on the patch and put it on the rod. Takes all of 7 seconds. Now paying 3 times as much for powder (bh209) has allowed me to shave that 7 seconds off my reloading time.We are hunting deer. We are allowed to shoot 2 deer a day.

Now back to the original question. As stated normally use wet dry patch but interested to find out if a bore brush will remove the crud ring. Thanks for all that replied.
Why? Sorry. I thought T7. Didn't read close enough. My bad.All good advice. Just don’t use actual spit with BH 209
