RE: Thompson Center Shock Waves?
 

The spray coming out the hole is a little small... usually takes three finger-actions on the nozzle to cover my big 3" patch... same patch used on 12-16 gauge shotguns. I run both sides of the patch... then discard it for a clean dry one. Use both sides.... then it's usually dry enough to load & shoot.

If you are not using copper bullets, you can substitute the ammonia Windex for regular Windex. That itsy-bitsy bit of ammonia helps remove copper remnants. That ingredient is common with most store solvents that claim to remove copper.

Never really thought about it but my "stock" ram rod tip wont work with a ballistic tip like th shock wave will it? Ill have to but a loader too wont I?

Rusty,

Your stock ram rod tip is basically used for cleaning or round ball loading. There are other types of bullets, like the shockwave, that have a polymer tip or hollow points. You will need to attain the special tips or you can take a drill and drill out space on your stock loader to accomidate the tip. This way it is not damaged when you load it. I chose purchasing the extra tips.

ive never tried a ballistic tip in my M/L but the power belts loaded fine for me when I shot a few with the stock rod and ill probably stick to them for this season since I already have 2 packs of them sitting here
