Sighting in I always fowl the barrel with a couple primers then I load and shoot 4-5 times before cleaning. Have always gotten good groups doing this
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

It all depends on which propellant you choose to shoot.
If you use Blackhorn 209 you can shoot 5 or 6 shots and then swab/clean.
Some of the other stuff out there you will have to swab/clean between each shot or you won't be able to get your ML re-loaded.
I do the same as Deadeye, fire a primer or two first to foul barrel and then load up.

Why are y'all fowling your barrel? My understanding is so when you load you aren’t greasing up your powder with bore butter.

Why are y'all fowling your barrel? Because ML's have a tendency to like a fouled bore and group better . Ever notice how your first shot from a clean bore ML is almost always the one in the group that's away from the others ??

Maybe that's why?
