[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1629320, member: 63925"] OK, shoulder was completely shredded last year so even though I shot some, my cleaning was just get the crud out since the back and forth motion was not gonna happen. I had surgery in Dec so getting better but I was at range and noticed some slack off in accuracy in a 700 300WSM. Shoulder is fine now so trying to get bore back. I looked into bore with borelight and said %^#*@%^%*. Nice shiny black coating, no copper, no powder fouling just beautiful black shiny coated bore. I have C4 ordered but won't be here for couple days. So good friend of mine had similar problem and told me to use Gumout Regane with PEA (polyether-amine). Plug the muzzle and pour into barrel overnight and carbon comes out easy. OK, has anyone heard of doing that? It sounds too easy without any harm to steel. He claims the PEA is a strong "detergent" that can penetrate the carbon layers causing it to dissolve. So before I try this, I was hoping someone else has tried it? I was also shooting a lot of RL-16 which I now know can contribute to the condition. Thanks PS- I am back to my normal bore cleaning since shoulder has rebounded so well in 4+ months. [/QUOTE]
