Yep, I've found the heavier stuff to work better also.
3" is darn good t4t.
When I mix I use a tablespoon measure.and only do about 4-5 strips 18" long(that's as big as my drying surface)that's lot's a shootin! Maybe tweek the lube a bit,mix 1-5 dip one strip,add one water dip one strip,add one water dip one strip. Now ya got 3 strips each different 1-5 thru 7. see?
Another tweek I do, is the tween shot swab,I use 22 cal cleaning patches damp with spit. Why? cause ya can git a big bag of precut's that are the same for cheap,an spit's free. Dutch say's once down and back.Darn good lesson, but not alway's! Condition's aren't always the same,cool breezy mornings are not the same as baking hot afternoon sun. I've learned to go by feel,sometimes an extra little pump near that bottom crud is needed and some times it needs a hole nuther patch,maybe one really wet followed by a dry.
I want "field" condition's also,the only tyme I've needed a quick follow-up shot is hunting groups of squirril. I just cain't talk'm into getting in a row for one clean shot!
Cut the ticking up into 2x2 squares,,makes dandy cleaning patch!
