[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2617168, member: 118876"] While I agree with what you said, the one gun that belonged to me that I used CLR on because nothing else was working was a new barrel. It was shot #4 that I could not get the carbon out of even though I cleaned the barrel between each of the previous 3 shots. The other two barrels belong to my son-in-law and since I had such good luck with my barrel he used it on his 300 WSM to deep clean it even though it was a new barrel with less than 50 shots in it. The other was his 308 which is about 15 years old, the copper took no time to get out, but the carbon has been another thing altogether. I have to assume that during those 15 years he got the copper out but really never got the carbon out and it has built up and baked into the bore which is why I'm having such a hard time getting it out. idk how many rounds have been shot through the rifle but I'd say between 1K and 2K. The barrel is a 26" Douglas XX sporter 1-10 in 30 cal. He cleans the barrels after shooting them because he never knows when he will be back over to shoot again, but like I said I don't think he ever cleaned them well enough to get the carbon out and it has built up over the years.
