I used some Citrus Orange, Degreaser andCleaner. This worked great in addition to a 50/50 mix of Windex / IPA. This cleaner is made by Zep and does a good job on the range swabbing between shots or during final clean up. I used it exclusively during clean up and it got out all the nasty in the barrel. The cleaner leaves no residue after swabbing with a dry patch after. It did an awesome job of cleaning the breech plug. I soaked the plug for a minute or two and wiped it off. Thought about trying some Simple Green to see how that worked. You can get it at Home Depot. I think they even come in a small convieneint container. Thought I'd pass it on. Any little bit helps.

Hey, thanks, txfireman - it's always good to hear about something else that works good. Use this, and it might even helpcover upsome of the smell that makes the little lady wrinkle up her nose!

Yes, I have used a Citrus Orange cleaner before, and it does an excellent job.

I've used Murphy's Oil Soap in water baths for the barrel, and it worked real good at removing fowling.
