[QUOTE="Jack R Tishue Jr, post: 1576868, member: 109081"] when cleaning modern smokeless power, don't really need to clean at all for periods of time. Brushes not good, as can scratch the barrel, even if bronze. If trying to get some copper out use One Shot. squirt it down the barrel, it foams up like shaving cream, and set for 1/2 hour, then run patches through it. If not completely copper free, repeat, but shouldn't need more than 2 applications . smokeless powder doesn't leave any residue that will hurt the barrel or affect accuracy (I have a friend, TOP, competitive shooter, long range, 800-1000 yds. She shoots thousands of rounds a season, and unless something funky happens, doesn't clean her barrel.). I grew up with a patch or so dipped in Hoppe's 9, and run through and dried was all anyone did. NO ONE broke in a barrel. This a fairly new phonomenen and agree it seems to do some good. Just like Dave (Tubb) cleaning up bullets. I have never used them, but evidently they work. At the most , I would run a Hoppe's patch down the barrel followed by a couple of dry ones, to get the little bit of soot out, but that would be it. [/QUOTE]
