[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 194412, member: 6536"] [b]Cleaning[/b] You will get 50 different opinions on this subject. Wow where it begin... First, did you break in the barrel? For a 223 I clean after a rang secision or when I see accuracy drop off. For some guns that might be 20 rounds or 50 rounds. Bore Snake--they look like they clean but what i have found is they are less than great. This is just my opinion and dose not mean that it is correct! Method One: When cleaning--I start with something like Butches bore shine or 50BMG. This stuff attacks copper and carbon. You need to get rid of both. I will put two or three saoked patched thorugh and let sit 15 min. Then patch dry. If I get heavey blue patches I might do this a couple times, tell the patches come out clean after a 15 min soak. I then run somehting down the barrel to nutralize the solvent--Alchol. Then i will put a Kroil patch down the bore followed by a clean patch. #2 Get your self some WIPE out and Wipe out accelerator. I run two or three patches of Wipe out accelerator down the bore and then SPray the Wipe out in and let sit 30min to an hour. The patche comes out blue and balck. I will out 5 clean patches down the bore and then re-apply the same steps. I will do this tell the first patch after the wipeout comes out clean. [/QUOTE]
