[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1614281, member: 108576"] Last week I fixed a problem I have had with my vanguard 300 weatherby mag from day 1. I could only shoot 4 or 5 and clean for days! I bought 5 cans of Wipe-Out as I was told to try that.Still took so many hours to completely clean it's bore that I hated to shoot it.I ran a cotton ball down the bore and inspected with a video bore scope and found high/rough spots in about 3 locations. I was told about Tubbs Final Finish on this site and bought the 30 cal kit. I loaded the kit per instructions and shot 10 at a time and clean.First cleaning took 4 hours,next 10 was 2 hours next 10 was about 1 hour and I finished the last 10 and came home. It took 20 mins to finish the cleaning.Now if I did not wear out the barrel I will be happy but even if I did I was going to re-barrel it anyway. I love my 300 weatherby mag and if all future cleanings are 20 min I'll be a happy camper and if it still shoots between 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch I'll be even happier. Just my 2 cents Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
