[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1791353, member: 29632"] I appreciate the response lamiglas. Would you mind breaking down [I]how[/I] you clean? As if you were explaining it to somebody who never seen a jag before. How many wet patches do you push? how long between? 1. JE says shoot then clean while monitoring velocity. But how clean are we talking about here? Run a borescope in it and see absolutely no copper at all? Or just until a patch comes out with no blue? 2. How to clean? My cleaning education was from the Marine Corps, what I learned there is highly frowned upon by members of this forum. 3. Carbon: Should I run a solvent soaked patch through, then follow with dry, alternating till the dry one comes out snow white? Or are we looking for a solvent soaked that comes out clean, then dry patch to dry the bore? I notice my solvent soaked patches typically are clean long before the dry ones but that doesn't make sense in my head. 4. Copper: basically the same as carbon question. But it seems cleaning carbon then copper allows for better blue on the patch so does the order matter? 5. Just use patches? Or break out a brush? I currently only have the hoppes ones that are bronze. [/QUOTE]
