RE: Barrel cleaning?
Barnes CR 10 on a patch and let it work for about 5 minutes then Birchwood Casey 2 in 1 bore cleaner on two back to back patches and then clean out with a couple dry patchs.Finish up with a patch and Hoppes #9 to lubricate the bore and prevent rusting.Using this method you will use about 6-8 patches per cleaning on a regular cleaned bore and about 12 and some bronze brush use on a bore not kept cleaned on a regular basis or not cleaned completely each time for several years.The Barnes will remove most of the copper and carbon fouling quickly and let you move to the maintance stage.
