[QUOTE="frankinaustin, post: 1118832, member: 71931"] This is a great topic! WRT bbl cleaning, I go with Hoppe's No 9 for 4 passes down the bbl, breach to muzzle, using a nylon brush. Then I spray a little bit of Berryman's on a patch and run it thru using a nylon brush until i think I have all the carbon and No 9 out. Then a few clean dry patches on a jag to validate that i'm clean. If I have been shooting a lot of Barnes copper bullets (one of my rifles LOVES them), I will go thru a de-coppering exercise about every 100 rounds. What I do is everything above to get all the carbon out, then use Sweets 762. I only apply and use that stuff for 15 minutes. what I do is squirt a little bit on a patch and run it thru wrapped around a nylon brush. And I keep running the same patch over and over again. after about 5 passes, that patch is fouled. You would think the patch had been sitting in axle grease! Then I start running a patch thru on a jag. I use the same patch over and over again. And it gets real dirty, and it seems to be pulling a lot of the crap out of the rifle grooves. You can tell based on the pattern on the patch. All this de-coppering work I limit to 15 min. That's it. After that time is up (no matter what), I then work to remove all the copper solvent. And that's when I use Break Free CLP. I start running patches soaked in it wrapped around a nylyon brush. I will do about 15 passes. Then, same thing with jags - about 15 passes. That Break Free pulls out all the copper solvent and any remaining crud. Then I go back to the Berrymans and use it to get all the CLP out. A de-coppering exercise will really pull some junk out of your bbl. [/QUOTE]
