[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2769417, member: 91783"] When I'm using copper fowling remover, I use a nylon jag. So many of the copper cleaners use ammonia and it will soak through the patch and a bronze brush or bronze jag will then turn the patch blue. In the military many years ago I used some copper cleaner that had hydrogen cyanide in it. I'm not a fan of that or the ammonia but a person needs to use what works for them and what they like to get the bore cleaned. There are several good products on the market as well as several good, coated cleaning rods, nylon brushes and jags along with bore guides. You don't have to do the break in all at the same setting you can do the 10 single shots and cleaning while sighting in if you want to. Then keep a note of the three shots and cleaning while you are shooting coyotes, deer hunting ect and watch your grouping to see how or if it changes as, you are doing it. So many times, it's pretty hard to not get excited and get the barrel hot while doing the break in. If you find yourself shooting some of the Russian ammo or happen to find some older American ammo you will want to clean right after shooting it as it has corrosive primers in it, mercury fulminate was used in a lot of ammo and still is in Russian ammo.
