[QUOTE="ular270, post: 1242131, member: 90466"] The only time in 60 years of cleaning barrels I have ever gotten a white patch when finished cleaning my barrel is when I used something called Deaton's Deep Clean. Carl Deaton, a friend from another forum, told me when I was breaking in a barrel to try his product and I did. His orders were to clean my barrel with my favorite cleaner, which at the time was Hoppes Copper Cleaner. Then after I got it as clean as I could, follow up with his product. I did, and when I swabbed that barrel with Deaton's Deep Clean after I thought it was clean, it came out Cobalt Blue, in other words it was still full of copper until I used Deaton's Deep Clean. But few of us picked up on it or paid attention. This is a real loss for long range shooters. This stuff will clean all the copper from your bore and let you realize what a well broken in bore can do for you. I'm kind of a nastalgia whako and love old stuff. I always wanted a .250 Savage in an accurate bolt gun. So I found a Howa 1500 in .22-250 in a pawn shop and paid $275 for it. I ordered a 26" Krieger Stainless barrel for it and had my favorite Local Gun Smith screw it on and chamber it. He also bead blasted it and reworked the trigger. I left it in the Howa plastic stock because it seemed to be a cut above Remington's and Savage synthetic stocks. And I have found they truly are. He bedded the new barrel in and it shoots accordingly. Even with my old eyes, it is a sub MOA shooter. And that old .250 with 115 or 117 grain bullets kills deer and hogs like lightning at yardage out to 300. I broke it in with Deatons Deep clean shooting shoot-clean-shoot-clean-shoot-clean for 10 rounds. In other words cleaning after every shot. Then I cleaned after every three shots for 10 rounds. Then after every 5 shots for 10 rounds. What Carl had me do that to convince me his product was superior to others was to shoot a round of bullets. Then clean it with my favorite copper cleaner until no copper. And then when I thought it was good and copper free, follow it with a patch soaked in Deaton's. I did this and was surprised to see it was still full of copper. I've been using Deaton's every since. [/QUOTE]
