[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 348338, member: 4191"] This will be short and sweet so as to not steal the real purpose of this thread. I've treated about 7 barrels with Gun Juice which were all low mileage barrels that had already been broke in bare back. Only one of these barrels fouled much with copper prior to Gun Juice treatment. They all foul much less than they did prior to treatment (carbon fouling). Like I said, none of them really fouled copper badly after breakin anyhow. I think barrels should be broke in the first 10-20 shots bone dry - the shoot once clean to bare steel method - to smooth out any burrs or roughness. Only makes sense to me, if the goal is to wear the bore smoother with the first few shots. Then treat with Gun Juice. I clean all the way back to baby butt clean before coating with Gun Juice and shooting the next bullet. I can't speak to throat wear or life, as I haven't shot enough to know, and likely won't, other than with one barrel burning 25 RUM. All I can say is my bores stay cleaner longer. I don't clean my barrels very often, which means they're already fouled when I go to the field - no worry about clean bore first shots because my bore is typically left fouled. And I believe the Gun Juice adds a layer of corrosion protection to my bores when left fouled. I don't shoot as much as Kirby does. So condition my comments with that in mind. Gun Juice turned off...
