[QUOTE="Savage 22-243 AI, post: 2774765, member: 106450"] We took Bronze brush to bottom of a Ruger M77 SS bull barrel. Ran it back and forth 10 times. Wiped it off and look at all the scratches. We went to patches for the most part and Nylon brushes for the tuff cleaning. I use liquid Wipeout, let sit all night and clean. Then run patch with lacquer thinner and follow with Kroil. Wait all night and clean. Sometimes after a Prairie Dog week it takes 300 patches and some brushing to get spot less. In the field I spit on a patch and run it through battle followed by 3 dry patches and start shooting. If accuracy is failing I do a good cleaning, otherwise I shoot 300 to 700 rounds between major cleanings. After a match at 1000 yd club no one I saw used Bronze brushes, only Nylon. I did see a lot of liquid Kroil being used. One 80 plus year old man shot a 1.7" group avg with ,7" best at 600 yds in the Rain! Says he only cleans when the gun tells him to. [/QUOTE]
