[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2329753, member: 33850"] I got my 22-250 several years ago. It had been parked in a safe for 15 years. The guy I got it from said he got it to teach his kids to shoot when they were younger, put a couple of boxes through it and never used it after that. It didn't shoot too good when I got it so I floated the barrel. BINGO, we have a winner. I've shot a few boxes through it now. I have run a brush through it a couple times just to knock out any loose carbon with a resulting little puff of dust when it comes out. I decided to see if there was anything in the barrel and gave it a go with bore cleaner. There was a tiny little hint of blue on the patch(barely even visible), but that was it, so I did it again and let it sit a little longer. Just a white patch. I tried it one more time, just because, and got nothing. It's clean. Is this normal? I hear horror stories about fouling and how hard it is to remove it. What makes one barrel stay clean while another gets so dirty? [/QUOTE]
