I was helping a friend shooting the othe day. His knight was all over the place. I noticed some breech grease on the fouling. So I took my No13 and cleaned the barrel real good. I asked how he cleaned it. He said he doesn't clean by putting hot water down the barrel. Only uses those presoaked patches by T/C with no 13. And then wipes it out real good. He said he cleaned from the back. Well I now know where the grease comes from. He's pushing that junk up the barrel on his threads. And that grease is some tough stuff.

I pour hot water down the barrel myself which I believe helps in removing the grease. I first start out cleaning with No. 13. I then remove the breechplug andclean out thethreads with a 20ga brush. I push thatgrease andfouling from the primers out from the muzzle to the breech side.And then usually use dawn or simply green starting at the muzzle only. My goal is to not pushgrease thru the barrel.

So this for anyone that notices some grease on thier patches. Might want to look into your cleaning.

Boy, sometimes cleaning sidelocks is a whole lot easier.
