[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 316620, member: 11717"] You shouldn't have any lead in your rifle barrel. I dont know of any lead rifle bullets that aren't jacketed that you would be shooting out off your rilfe. You want to get the copper and carbon fouling out. There are a couple of ways to go about that. I use Bore Tech Eliminaor and Wipeout. For bad fouling with Bore Tech I will take about 3 soaked patches and push them through soaknig the bore, then I take a nylon brush and stroke it about 5 times each way, then let it sit for about 20 min. Then dry patch until all the cleaning agent is gone and then repeat until I get white patches. Wipeout is another less labor intensive way. Spray it in and let your bore soak up to 8 hours then patch it out. It's very effective but with badly fouled bores it may take numerous applications. Just this last week I spent 5 days cleaning out a used Sendero 25-06. The first days Iused Bore Tech for a few hours just wet patching through, no brushes. A lot of copper and carbon came out. Then I started the Wipeout soaking treatments. I did that for 4 days straight including soaking over night. Then I went back to the Bore Tech and started using the brush. After a few hours of that the patches finally started coming out just a little grayish. With all the cleaning it needed I decided to take it to get bore scoped. It turned out that the barrel was badly fire cracked. all the cracks were collecting fouling and it took a LONG time to get it out. If yours takes a very long time to clean, you might get it scoped to see what condition the bore is in, especially with a 300 RUM if you've fired it hot much. I dont think Hoppe's is near as good a cleaner as Bore Tech Eleiminator. Wipeout. And if you use bronze brushes and brass jags with a powerful copper romover you will get the blue patch copper indication from the brushes and jags. If you use brushes, use nylon brushes and nickel plated jags. Hope this helps, -MR [/QUOTE]
