[QUOTE="1ASSASSIN, post: 1458986, member: 106291"] One thing that really helps me with my guns, and something I have done for over 30 years, after the last round of the day is fired, and the barrel is still warm, run a couple of wet patches down the bore with a 50/50 mix of Shooters Choice and Kroil and keep the bore wet. Then every 2 to 3 days at the most, run a couple of wet patches of the "mix" down the bore, and do this until you get ready to shoot again, then dry the bore good before shooting. By keeping the bore "wet", it is constantly removing copper and carbon fouling from the bore. It also makes the first cold shot from a clean bore go where it is suppose to! Most of my custom barrels are stainless, and they are sitting with the bores wet, until it is time to go shoot. All are sitting bi-pods with a rear bag under the butt stock, to keep the barrel almost horizontal, with the muzzle slightly down to keep anything from running back into the action. Always clean from the chamber end, and always use a bore guide! Use only nylon brushes for scrubbing the bore and not the copper or bronze brushes. [/QUOTE]
