The group of BP long gun shooters I play with shoot 25 to 30 shots while walking a trail. So there's no time or place to allow for swabbing bores. It's shoot, load, shoot, load, repeat.
They've come up with various potions and unguents to use on their patches so each shot cleans the bore from the last shot. I too have come up with one that works for me.
In my case it's "Moose Milk" made from a 1:4 mixture of Ballistol to water. I start a dry patch and ball with the short starter then wet the fringe of the patch with 5 to 6 drops worth of the Moose Milk. This is then long started and rammed home. The wet patch cleans and lubes the bore both on the way in and out.
As a result I find that the first one or two loadings become a slight bit harder from a perfectly clean and lubed bore. But from that point on the ramming force stays consistent and it's regular sailing for the rest of the day.
This is being done on a .50cal which I load with 50gns of 3f. Heavier hunting loads might respond differently.
Some of the other folks have a lozenge box of patches soaked in windshield washer fluid that they use. They similarly get through the whole trail of 25 to 30 shots with the same sort of ease. Yet another guy simply puts the dry patch on his tongue so it's lubed with spit. I don't mind spit in my barrel but the idea of that wooly cotton patch on my tongue gives me the willies....
Someone else in the group uses the Murphy's oil soap mix that a few folks here often suggest.
All the ones that work on a shot to shot basis have some water content to aid in softening and allowing the fouling to be softened and wiped clean by each patch.
Even for target shooting where you have all the time and room in the world I can't help but think that a solution that works easily from shot to shot will be better than an option where you let the bore foul for a few shots then clean it. That seems like it would lack for the consistency that we'd have with a wetted patch cleaning with each loading.
