Swabbing Between Shots with BH209?

I have shot as many as 15 shots without swabbing and I could have gone more but was done with what I had to do
so don't waste your time swabbing
 
When I shot BH209 in my CVA Optima V2 50, I didn't swab at all. I just loaded and shot at the range. When I would get home, I would clean it good, breech plug and barrel. Morning or afternoon of hunt, I would pop two primers to foul the barrel and then load her up and go hunting.
Be careful with waiting a long time between cleaning. In my experience, I went a week without cleaning and it "stained" the barrel. After that, I always cleaned asap.
