[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1290040, member: 1521"] Soon as I return from the range, or remote hunting trip, I clean the bore completely. Then I soak a bore mop with the best evaporating alcohol I can get my hands on, and wash out any trace of petroleum/cleaning products. I use a blow dryer to heat the barrel a bit and dry out the bore, and verify totally clean with a borescope. I keep a bore mop in a jag tube with WS2 coated BBs and a pinch now & then of more WS2. I can squeeze the tube to hold the mop (without getting WS2 all over the place) while screwing my cleaning rod onto it. Then I insert a bore guide dedicated for prefouling into the action, and short stroke the mop through to burnish in the dry WS2. Then I push a single patch through to remove any loose. That's dry, clean, and prefouled. So far it has matched prefouling of any powder I've used, which is amazing because typical powder prefouling does not match other powders.. Since the bore is stored dry in this case, You need to keep it dry. Take care of your guns. You can use WS2 to coat bullets, as you might with moly. Where you do, it does not affect velocity over uncoated bullets(unlike moly). [/QUOTE]
