[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 180228, member: 4885"] When you clean during breakin, you will want to remove all the carbon and all the copper, even if it takes 30 patches at first. Then finish with a lightly oiled patch so you don't shoot in a completely clean and dry bore. The way I do it is as follows (this is what Kirby had me do with my 338AM). Run 3-4 solvent soaked patches (Butches Bore Shine solvent) then dry patches. If the bore is dry before its clean, I do a couple more solvent patches, until the dry patches are coming out clean as they dry the bore. Then once the bore is dry, I run a lightly oiled patch down the bore and I'm ready for the next shot. Kirby also turned me onto using the nylon brushes to push the patches through, instead of the tight fitting jags. So when I push a solvent soaked patch through, the nylon jag comes back through the bore. Also, make sure to swab/dry the chamber before you shoot. I do that by wrapping 3-4 patches around the nylon brush and spinning it as I swab back and forth in the chamber to get it perfectly dry. HTH AJ [/QUOTE]
