[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 457113, member: 2580"] meatyrem, I know I'm off subject a little, but it's a common complaint. I've got Lilja barrels and one Lawton that will clean up after 5 shots with 3-5 patches (after I did a good slow (cool) barrel break-in). On some barrels, particularly factory barrels, I just finally give up on getting a white patch. I worry about over cleaning...too much solvent and too many strokes can remove the "seasoning" in a bore and you end up having what amounts to an unbroken-in bore. Sounds crazy, but I believe it. I've settled on Butch's Bore Shine, but you have to run something behind it. I use some stuff called RustePrufe. It is a mild nitro solvent and a good preservative. It can be left in the bore and chamber, and cleans bolt faces, etc. Good stuff. I used Hoppe's # 9 for years, but several years ago I finally read the instructions. They say NOT to leave # 9 in the bore. Speaking of leaving stuff in the bore, I still dry patch the bore and chamber before firing. I know that bore cleaning has been covered over and over, but I still read everything I see on the subject. I'll bet 50 Driver has covered it also, but I'm watching to see if he replies too.
