So if it water solvent should i run the windex down then run some alcohol down it to dry it.
You really do not even need alcohol... I have never been a fan of putting a flammable down a possible hot bore with possible burning embers still in the bore... It really is probably OK because alcohol has a high flash point.
But, with windex the is no need to use alcohol for drying - windex has ammonia in it that evapaorates in a hurry and carries water vapor with it....
THE KEY is not to get the windex patch to wet -
just barely damp... then you do not even need to dry patch...
There are other things that I do that do not follow the norm... This notion that you should strip your bore with alcohol before shooting is a relic left over from the days of true black powder shooting... or the concern that the sabots might slip over the lands in the barrel - if the sabots fit your bore correctly they will not slip... Today if you do not saturate your bore with a quality oil all you have to do is run a couple of windex patches and couple of dry patches - pop a couple of primers and commence shooting.
Hunting in a cold wet atmosphere with a stripped bore seems kind counter-productive to me also...
Oh-well like I say - I break a lot of the norm rules but it sure works for me....
When it gets right down to it - you will develope your own techniques and that is what you will use...
