[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2117080, member: 1521"] My father taught me to put away guns cleaner than I pull them (always). So I clean bores if even used for only a single shot. This would cause a fouling problem for most folks, as it takes burning any petroleum out before stable fouling takes a set. That can take a few shots, or higher. For cleaning I've used a version of Speedy's method for as long as I remember: [URL]https://www.brownells.com/aspx/learn/learndetail.aspx?lid=13001[/URL] And to address fouling I have always dried bores after cleaning (with alcohol), and for 30yrs+ I've pre-fouled with a dry burnishing of Tungsten Disulfide (WS2). The bores are put away dry & ready for any single shot. No seasonal fouling required. It seems that WS2 functions as a universal fouling, It doesn't affect the load, and I like that it cleans right out. [/QUOTE]
