[QUOTE="Vol1975, post: 1979071, member: 100380"] I don’t shoot like some people who run hundreds of round over the course of the day but my cleaning is based on hoppes # 9 cleaner (Or something similar)with several wet patches wrapped around a worn brush. Sobbing barrel good and Trying not to go over crown of barrel. I do this for several minutes. Then clean it with dry patches. after this I take the right side bronze brush (New) and usually run it about 5-10 passes avoiding the crown sure enough here. Remove brush every time when u exit the barrel. Gun smith told me along time ago this is an exit point not enter. I follow this with several wet patches and then followed with dry. now one thing I do is remove my bore guide and gentlely stoke the bronze brush Down the barrel ensuring I hit the throat area in and around about Area. this is a feel method and gentle method not going crazy here. follow up with wet patch and dry patches. i typically clean above either at the end of deer season or if the gun starts shooting funny. my cleaning methods are based on a very respectEd gun barrel maker telling me 15 years ago on how he cleans a barrel. he told me more barrels are screwed up by men or women by cleaning than any thing else. another thing I also do is if I do cleaning as mentioned above I always load up a reduced load Of ammunition and shoot fouling my barrel. Maybe 5 shots anyway. I’ve found that some guns on super clean barrels the pressure increases on new Clean barrels. I wouldn’t over think it and I’d be careful in what you clean a barrel with. If you have a concern or thought call the manufactory of the barrel company. The will tell you on products they like and what the hell to stay away from. ive never tried to get every spec of carbon or copper out. That’s me but some people clean there barrels out more than is needed than my opinion. And the way I’m OCD in reloading is why I would never buy a bore scope. I don’t want to know As long as the gun shoots good. [/QUOTE]
