[QUOTE="lckytylr, post: 744158, member: 60857"] Lefty swoops in to save the day again. :-) Thank you, Sir. I'll start with Hoppe's tomorrow and let 'er soak a bit before I brush (Ne'er dry Again). Hopefully I'll have better results. Two more questions. Hoppe's is pretty dark, the two liquids I have used thus far are very clear, how do you know when you are getting clean patches out of the bore while using Hoppe's? How many times do I repeat the Hoppe's cleaning . . . and do I follow it with Sweet's or FP-10 afterwards? Thanks, you have been very helpful. I'm really hoping I can "save" my barrel. I know it's only a factory barrel and it's used, but I don't want to just junk it. As I have said before, I'm just testing the waters with this LR stuff, I'm not ready to break the piggy bank and jump in head first with custom rig and barrel. I'd really like to reach the accuracy limit of a factory barrel to see how far I'm personally capable of shooting before I dump money into a lost cause. As I keep reading on the misleadingnet, usually the weakest link of any shooting platform is the shooter. I need to prove/disprove that before I take the plunge. Thanks all, I appreciate it. This is going to be a LONG and expensive learning process. Wish I could skip a few steps but it's not the way of DIY. :-) [/QUOTE]
