Cleaning? What is that?

Cleaning? What is that?

My hunting buddy NEVER cleaned his .308 whitetail rifle. After many years of abuse, he left the rifle with me for a cleaning. It took me nearly a week to get most of the hardened, layered junk out but he's good to go for another 10 years, at least.

Dustbag, I am not sure you will get that Dasher barrel clean, I have two right now. R#15, H4895, IMR XBR 8208, Varget.....all tough to get out of the barrel. The term, "Clean Enough" comes to mind! AA2495 burns a lot cooler, will try that today checking accuracy and how easily it cleans up.

I was discussing this subject with a friend, and he had one rifle where the powder fouling in front of the throat had fire cracking in it!

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't cleaned it since break in but been shooting it every week or two. Usually I clean them if there gonna sit. I'll get after this one soon. Will see how it goes.

Bob, that is where my 7RM gets cleaned also. 10 three shot groups, plus foulers....itty bitty groups.
