[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 117656, member: 8843"] Edge , I forgot to mention that the water I use is distiled I use the 50/50 mix because its cheaper and makes it last a little longer. Acetone actualy works realy well but it isin't exactly the stuff you want running all over the place or your gun for that matter. their are several way you can make this setup work , the first ones I make I just used a tapered rubber plug with a hole drilled through it and that worked realy well but the plugs got hard to find and somtimes came off in the chamber making a mess on the bench The Possum Hollow chamber plugs work well because they are steel and can be tapped. I generaly just run a couple dry cotton patches through the bore before the next string of shots. I have also used cool damp rags to cover the barrel when shooting more than 3 shots like when varminting. I also like to have a pretty big gap arounbf my barrels when they are free floated to allow a little more air to get around the barrel , some of my varmint guns had a 1/4" gap around the stock and had cooling vents cut into the bottom and sides of the stock.
