[QUOTE="dlschwartz, post: 1566439, member: 60352"] I'm a long range varmint hunter not a paper puncher but I believe that accuracy is highly dependent on cleanliness and my needs are accuracy. Following is how I clean my custom rifles. 1. Initial scrub with Butch's Bore Shine including soak for about 15 minutes and patch it out. 2. Wipe out / Patch out with Accelerator - soak for about an hour. Patch it out. 3. Inspect bore with scope. If clean, skip to step 6. 4. Not clean. If carbon, use another cycle of WO/PO and inspect. If Cu, Bore Tech Eliminator soak for a half hour and patch out. Inspect - Cu fouling another round of Eliminator. 5. Inspect. Check the corners of the groves carefully. If fouled, Patch with IOSSO by short stroking, bronze brush for 6-8 stroke cycles followed by a patch and another bore scope inspection. 6. Final brush in Slip 2000 and soak for 15 minutes and patch out. If patch shows clean, patch in EEZOX or Slip 2000 EWL. I always make sure that a complete bore inspection and cleaning is completed about every 50 rounds fired. The most important tool in thorough cleaning is a good bore scope. I've found that leaving carbon or copper in a barrel results in continued build up. Patch indications cannot be relied upon to tell the story. Good luck.... This is not the fun part of the sport and I'm sure that there are a lot more methods to achieve cleanliness. [/QUOTE]
