[QUOTE="Boman, post: 73501, member: 819"] 7Rumloader, #1 The core of the nylon brush is steel. #2 The patch size was .270-.30cal. It fit tight enough to squeak but not difficult to push down.. From the sounds of it I needed to scrub more.. I was only using 5-6 complete strokes each patch. Goodgrouper, Well thats a good point, but I felt like I understood how to use the cleaner. I read your post and back when the coppermelt site was working I had read the directions from the site. Plus I wouldn't say I wasted them. I used them.. If you really want to help me then help don't insult me.. I don't have a bore scope so I can't tell you for sure that it was clean. But I cleaned with Barnes CR10 till the patches are white. Thats the best I've used so far. I know you can use Butches and get white patches and still have copper in the barrel. That why I use Butches, then Barnes. Lastly, my method of using the coppermelt out of the can was to pour some of it into a unused squeeze bottle. Then squeeze a few drops from it onto the patches.. Could this be a problem? [/QUOTE]
