I guess they were just getting stuck from there being nothing in the barrel just dry. Seems weird I could run tons of dry patches thru after using hoppes copper bore cleaner, but not more than 2 dry patches after the wipe out.
Ya 2 dry ones made it thru before they started getting stuck. Everything has been the same. Im thinkin it must just be the bore is so dry now they aren't sliding thru. Or the patches I'm using, which are pro shot round patches, maybe some bigger ones were in the package from the factory. Been...
Ok Im having the worst luck with this gun! Let wipe out soak overnight. Woke up and filled barrel again then 1 hour later ran patches thru it. Well on the third patch it got stuck right after the lands. Wouldn't budge. Had wife hold gun on floor while I yanked it out. Same patches I've been...

Sounds good i will. Im ordering the barrel today and got a hogue stock and jewell trigger waitin for it. I still have to find an action for it tho. Im goin with with a 700 action for sure. Not sure what scope im gonna go with yet.
