I have a fair amount of experience with a variety of front stuffers, but I am headed to the range tomorrow using BH209 in a new Traditions Pursuit G4 Ultralite, first time using BH209. With an eye towards the light rifle I will start with 80 gr measured underneath the 300gr Hornady XTP in a Harvester crush rib. I have read through the forum and understand a dry patch followed by Hoppes is the way to clean things up. But my questions are: When you load, do you run the projectile down the dry bore or lube it up with something? In the sidelocks using Pyrodex RS or the holy black we spit on the sabot to ease the loading. Also, how many shots before swabbing the bore? On the sidelocks we clean after every shot. Thanks so much.
