This info is not part of the test being done but was a test and did not know it until I started learning from this forum. Feb of 1998 I bought the Remingtom 700 ss ml, it was bought to use if I did not take my buck with my bow. The years the ml was used after it was sighted in were 2001,2002,2005 and 2008, there were also times during this period I would shoot just to be shooting. During this 10 year period I used the tc bore cleaner #13 and run a Remington wonder lube patch down the bore when finished. As you can see this ml has had a bunch of down time just sitting in the safe,also with this ml after every 3rd shot I would lube the bore with the Rermington wonder lube and I was shooting the Hornady 44-240 hp/xtp with the Pyrodex pellets and the bp was converted to the 209? The inside of this bore is blemish free, shines like a mirror after 10 years? Hard to figure?
