We will see how the hand cleaner works there Triple Se7en. I ordered four cans to make the whole thing worth ordering. I figure it is hand cleaner after all...so I got nothing to loose. Besides, you never advised me wrong yet on products...

I shoot tight patch and ball combos, and my barrels just don't shoot it well. As stated, a looser combo may.

How long have you known Stumpy? When you mentioned finding Permatex faults with more than one barrel, a red flag was raised by me.
I'm done here -- only because I suspect a lie or two. Saying you had inaccuracies in all your barrels said enough for me to just walk-away from here.

Question for t7 (or anyone else): Does the hand cleaner have to be "Permatex" or can it be another brand?
Never realized there are different strengths of hand cleaner.
When I noticed in another thread your hand cleaner suggestion, I rushed right out to Wally's World and bought a container of it....however, I didn't pay attention to the brand. Can't remember the brand off hand.
I guess the worst thing in the world is that I blew $1.25.

Don't some hand cleaners actually have small grit of pumas stone in them? I would avoid any grit type hand cleaner (even though I have not used it yet) simply as it will eventually cause wear in the bore. Although if you have a tight bore, that might not be all bad..
..........it makes nice hand cleaner for me.

In the 80s, I contracted services in the oilpatch and was in the field every day for 6 1/2 years, literally almost everyday. I left the lanoline hand-cleaners in the bed of my truck. I don't recall them freezing, but in the summer they would kinda liquify in high heat. They still cleaned fine and had a greasy ( i guess from the lanolin) feel. I used go-jo and some other brand which was cheaper. I just can't remember it freezing.
