Dave,

Which product did you get?

Bore Solvent

Bore Cleaning

Bore Conditioner

I have the Bore Conditioner and your application description is good. The bore must be clean and dry... Then apply the Conditioner.

A little bit on a patch goes a very long ways. Run your patch several times in the bore. Every time I do it I still get a small hint of dis-coloration on the patch... Most important - do not leave excess conditioner in the bore. Just a smige on a patch will do the job.

Then before firing run a tight clean patch through the bore and you are off to the races. I run a couple to make sure I am not getting any product out of the barrel.
