[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 167443, member: 4683"] Bounty Hunter , I didn't know the wipe-out would clean the carbon -guess i could read the label on my can. I use general motors -t o p engine cleaner-it's for pouring in w/your gas and cleans the carbon from you engine. I do use the wipe-out accelerator to. Hicks , Brother it's a never ending thing w/expense -but once you start to learn more and more you realize you need something else i.e. more expense. Barrel cleaning regimens are like anything else you'll develope a style of your own. Some barrels are more rough than others so there is no etched in stone method of cleaning and when to do that cleaning. Its been my expierence that a factory barrel will lose accuracy between 40-50 shots fired. That comes from praire dog hunting -i can take a 50 round cartridge box and towards the end of the box misses become commonplace. Same experience at the range on paper -groups start to wane at 25 rounds fired and each following group gets noticeably worse ,a few more groups and you are shooting patterns. A custom barrel will hang in there longer but i don't go much over 40-50 rounds myself b/c i enjoy giving her a good cleaning. One thing to remember is that after you clean all the carbon/copper out of your barrel -your gun might well shoot the first few rounds wildly and not to your point of aim.The barrel has to get -fouled in- a little then it will settle down and shoot right. This can create a bit of a problem if you shoot -give a cleaning -then want to go hunting. Some people clean at the range then fire a shot or three to confirm -she's ready-. Well get on down to the gunstore and spend some money on cleaning supplies -and tell your guy -in the know- what he needs and why lol. [/QUOTE]
