[QUOTE="Brent, post: 33000, member: 99"] It'll usually take a few patches with solvent to clean out the JB so they aren't black anymore. Be sure to start with the chamber though and clean the JB out of it first then work forward or when you go back and clean it it will again contaminate the bore. Your rifle will shoot like hell if any of that stuff is left in there after cleaning too, make it squeeky clean. I run a patch of oil down the bore when I'm all done, then a dry patch to remove any excess but leave a coating for the first bullet to run on so initial fouling is minimized. You could pour a lead lap in the bore and do it up right or use the Tubb lapping bullets if it's what you want. I pretty much use JB bore paste for my all my cleaning, powder and copper, takes it all out with a couple good coated patches wraped around a Dewey jag. I've used Sweets in combination with JB but don't really find it necessary. 30-70 strokes on each patch of JB does the job no problem, less if I don't shoot 50-100 rounds before cleaning it. [/QUOTE]
