I just wrapped up opening weekend here in Texas. Was fortunate to take a doe Saturday morning with my TC Hawken .50 shooting 80 grain 2F Goex and TC Maxiball. After the hunt and related work was done I cleaned the barrel by running six wet and or damp patches followed by five or six dry.
Reloaded and continued hunting the rest of the weekend but never shot. I’m curious what others do in this situation. Do you leave the charge in the gun or do you shoot and clean as preparing to store the gun. I will be back hunting again Friday and will more than likely have an opportunity for another doe Friday evening or Saturday morning. Point being after that I will not reload but will clean appropriately.
Thanks in advance… DK
