[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1881152, member: 109113"] I have found that a brush works a little better than a jag for scrubbing action, especially down into the corners of the grooves. 270 or 7mm brushes work best for 30-caliber bores, depending on the thickness of the patches being used. A worn-out 30-cal. brush is also good. I have also found that the triangle patches work far better than anything else, and have stopped using brushes with patches since I went to this type of patch. Since I started using Wipe-Out, about twenty years ago, I have also stopped doing any scrubbing of bores. Like a few other guys have mentioned here, I use the Accelerator when I want to clean a bore in an hour or two, but vastly prefer the lazy-man's approach - that is, I do the all-night soak and skip the Accelerator. Triangle Patches on a fairly tight-fitting jag generally leave me nothing to look at with the bore scope but steel. I have had to try several different jag diameters to find the one that fits the best with different sized patches, but the triangle patches fill up the grooves extremely well, and they wipe out everything.
