[QUOTE="crosshairsonTheCross, post: 370943, member: 23804"] So after a shot, how long should it take to clean the barrel? I was figuring one wet patch, 5-10 strokes with a brush, and 1-2 dry patches to remove carbon. Then patches through with copper solvent untill they started coming out without a blue stain. Then another oil patch and another dry patch. Figuring 5-10 minutes between shots to clean. Do I need to let the barrel soak with the solvents? At this rate, I was expecting to work through 12 shots in 2 hours, then start 3 shot groups to sight, with 2-3 minutes between shots, and 5-10 between groups. Should I devote the whole 5 hours to cleaning and break in, and worry about sighting at a later trip? [/QUOTE]
