[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 283187, member: 1521"] What a difference between shooting UNTIL hitting something, -and shooting TO hit something.. It doesn't make sense to leave a bore with solvents/oil in it, but hunt with it full of corrosive fouling, because a wet bore throws shots. Only then to see a degrading bore condition as a cleaning product problem? Here's a tip; Use Sweets first for cleaning(especially for pre-brushing), followed by a soaked patch of hydrogen peroxide -pushed so slow as to react it away. Your barrel should foam at the mouth here. A couple dry patches, and finish cleaning with any other product if desired. Then you might take the bore to squeaky clean, dry metal, with the best ethyl alcohol you can get. Then prefoul with graphite(DAG or Lock-eez) or a dry tungsten(WS2) burnishing. With this, you won't have to shoot until you've burned off the wet in your bore (until you can hit something). And because you've worked up a CBS load with a bore like this, you'll be ready(to hit something) when pulling a gun from the safe. Try it, & let us know if your hitting where expected on the first shot. [/QUOTE]
