[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 70682, member: 11"] I am finding that 4 to 8 drops per patch work nicely depending on weather I am using 1" squares of cut t shirt or 1"x2" rectangles or 2"x2" squares. The one inch squares I am using with a patch eye in the .22s The rectangles I am wrapping around the .17 cal brush in a spiraling down fashion. This lets me start the patch in the muzzle of the 10/22 easier but then gives me good contact at the rear of the brush. I am having a hard time getting the JC Higgins to come clean. The first time took 29 patches then we shot about 100 rounds through it and the last cleaning took so many patches I finally quit and said "good enough." This was after swithcing to Hoppes BR and scrubbing with a bronze brush for a while and then going back to the Copper Melt for a while longer. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I'm not seeing any green. Only grey even though we shot copper plated ammo through it since the last cleaning. I will say that the newer guns (10/22 and the Li'l Buckaroo) cleaned in 3 patches each. The Mini 14 cleaned in 5 patches with 100 rounds through between cleaning. [/QUOTE]
