[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2438875, member: 115658"] I also have a CZ457, .17HMR. I dip a nylon brush into liquified gun cleaning foam residue from clean up jobs done on other rifles. I place a plastic water bottle over muzzle end the other rifles to catch foam squirting out of muzzle and the foam liquefies. The foam residue is allowed to work for 30 min to overnight in the .17 HMR bore. I let I use a .17-pointed jag & cut my patches to fit, like 3/16 wide, 1 1/4 long, cotton double nap, to push out the used-up foam that is now blue-black glop. I then brush out the bore with a .17 nylon brush dipped in 5-30W synthetic motor oil. About 20 strokes. I finish with about 5 patches. Squirting foam into a .17 bore is not easy - it seems to go everywhere instead of inside bore. Jamming the end of the foam can tube against the .17 muzzle gets some foam into barrel. Cleaning out the magazine well & inside receiver is last. I lube bolt with Hornady 1 shot. [/QUOTE]
