[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 150227, member: 3733"] Spades, I use the Dewey cleaning rods/jags/brushes, they are plastic coated steel, one piece rods. Very durable and will not harm your bore. I also use a bore guide, but I have settled on a cheap plastic product rather than the more expensive alluminum type. My solevent choice for copper is Barnes CR-10, and for carbon a 2-1 mix of Shooters Choice and Kroil. My cleaning course varys with the rifles degree of fouling/shots fired, and its bore condition. For regular cleanings when things aren't real bad I start with the SC/Kroil mix sending down a few soaked patches on the jag. If required I will send the brush down a half dozen times. I then send down a couple dry patches to remove the solevent. I will then go to the Barnes CR-10, If a couple soaked patches come out dark blue I will continue with the cr-10. Some experience is required here because your brass jag will turn your patches a very light blue. If you need to tell the difference send down a wet patch followed by a dry one, if the dry one shows streakes of dark blue you have a little more copper still in the bore. After I have finished with the cr-10 I send one more patch of SC/kroil down the bore to remove any of the remaining cr-10 residue. Dry patch, then a Kroil only patch, for rust prevention. Done If things are real bad it just takes longer. Once in a great while I will use the bronze brush with the cr-10 for really stuborn copper fouling. This will ruin your brush in short order, but is effective on the stuborn copper. [/QUOTE]
