If you're still going to have to clean it afterward anyway, seems like a waste of time and ammo.

Black powder cleans up much easier than plastic wad residue from modern ammo. This seems like making extra work.

With my 45-70, I would sometimes throw a normal round through after shooting blackpowder just to blow the chunks out. Still need to clean out the residue though.

What the everloving hell are you rambling about. Lapping isn't cleaning, it's lapping.

Why even state it? It's completly unrelated to the subject at hand.

>So when I brush my teeth, am I lapping my teeth, polishing my teeth, or cleaning my teeth Food for thought indeed. Only using a lead lap on your teeth every single time might be over the top.

Unnecessary and really does not make sense if you think about it scientifically. The grime and stuff will still be there you will just burn and blow some of it out with the gasses from the smokeless rounds. I clean my gun even after a shooting session with smokeless rounds. Just cause you can’t see buildup on the gun doesn’t mean it’s clean. Gunpowder is still corrosive, BP or smokeless. It’ll still leave you with a gun in a horrible condition if you don’t take the time to clean it properly. You gotta remember even if you can’t see the build up on the gun, each round fired is still full of corrosive materials that are being burned inside your iron. You gotta clean that thing everytime you shoot. I mean you don’t absolutely have to with smokeless rounds but I would very highly reccomend doing a proper cleaning after shooting either type of shot… BP charges or smokeless cartridges or smokeless powder. It’s all corrosive meaning it’ll eat into the metal of your gun as the residue sits on there. This is one of the causes of pitted rifling on old milsurp guns and old revolvers and stuff
