[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 1950461, member: 114954"] There are many methods to clean a bore and as many opinions on the best way. However, one thing that applies to all methods and will improve the cleanliness of the bore is judicial application of '[I][B]Tincture of Time[/B][/I]' ;) Give your chosen chemicals time to work...don't be in a hurry. I've had barrels that would have nice white patches with no hint of blue after 2-3 patches of my copper remove du jour only to find them speeding up every time I would chrono the same load and show pressure signs way before they should for that velocity. Once I included periodic bore scoping to my cleaning regimen I found that there was a lot of copper still left behind. I now let my chemicals soak for 15-20 minutes before patching out on each application and I can get the bore truly down to bare metal (if applicable) with little mechanical effort. I find things to do between applications like cleaning the bolt, checking torque on action screws/scope mount/rings etc. Now, when I run the Hawkeye through I rarely get surprises. [/QUOTE]
