[QUOTE="cross, post: 245555, member: 8592"] I follow Hart's instructions about using Hop-Up-and-Down Number 9 (Hoppes #9) for cleaning and a wet patch of the same for storage. John Burns advocated using Hoppes Elite Gun Cleaner (the spray not the gel) to clean your bore because it would leave it "dry" and his experience was that a dry bore would shoot the same as a fouled bore. I've adopted a combination of the two approaches, using #9 to clean and store the BBL and then before I take it hunting, dry the bore with a couple of patches of Hoppes Elite. It seems to work well and I'm unable to tell the difference between my 1st shot and my Nth shot. (Of course drying your barrel with Hoppes elite before hunting only works with stainless barrels, blued ones rust like no tomorrow with no protection on them). [/QUOTE]
