[QUOTE="Frenchie1, post: 2755018, member: 84014"] Great point Muddy! I did once however, go against all warnings and filled an old Mauser 98 7x57 barrel with Sweets 7.62 due to the worst case of fouling and neglect I have ever seen and let it sit overnight with golf tee's in each end. My cipherin was, "If it eats the entire barrel, I'm not out more than about $150 for a new one." (This took place in about 1991 or 92 when barrels and everything else were a tad cheaper than today.) Anywho, the next morning, the smell in my shop about put me to my knees when I entered, the golf tee's were about a 1/4 the length that they started as and the liquid that remained was the darkest blue/black color I have ever seen and there were actual chunks in the liquid! As I got things cleaned up and began swabbing the barrel, I was pretty convinced that I was wasting my time but man was I wrong! That bore cleaned up like pert near new and with some Hornady 139 Interlocks, shot in the .75 range which made me really extremely happy! [/QUOTE]
