I will tell you this though, I get more residue back in the action from racking the action as fast as I can shoot than I ever do on the range taking my time between shots. There are speckles all over my '66s from black powder still smoking as I eject shells during a match. I get as little as I do with my original Win 73 in .44 WCF when I am taking my time between shots (no hot unburned powder flying...)
