[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1580471, member: 109136"] MAF47, I use the Prolix straight up, right out of the bottle. I use one of the wife's glass baking dishes (she hasn't missed it yet, god help when she does, lol) suspended in distilled water. Never had a problem with it. This stuff works great, especially on auto loaders. Short stroking a brush is a recipe for a screwed up barrel! NEVER SHORT STROKE A BRUSH! I don't even short stroke a patch. Generally people think barrels are hard, they are not! They are relatively soft, I won a bet one time from a friend debating over the hardness of a barrel and a cleaning rod. I don't remember the exact difference, but on Rockwell test, the cleaning rod was harder than the barrel. If you short stroke a brush, when the bristles cam over (for lack of a better term), they can put divots in your bore or gouge it. I have seen brushed get stuck really bad from someone running a brush down the barrel with a short cleaning rod, then try to pull it out..... Makes me shutter. [/QUOTE]
