Hawg, that sounds like a reasonable idea. However, it means that you have to clean your barrel every time you hunt.
However, all that is moot now for me because with Mississippi's current "primitive weapons" rules my ML barrel sits unused in the safe and the .35 Whelen barrel gets the love.
I fire a blank charge before I go hunting and then load it.
No corrosion problems from leaving the cap & powder fouling in the bore for that long?When I was working I'd clean it after the second day but if I could still hunt I wouldn't have to clean it for at least a week.

huh?NAPA brand of water soluble oil isn't made anymore
The thinking is that with each shot fired, the net bore diameter decreases a hair due to more fouling accumulating along the walls of the bore.
A wipe with patch prevents this from happening between shots, hence a CONSISTENT AND REPEATABLE AND RELIABLY SAME bore's diameter.
