[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1837677, member: 63925"] The one clean or not clean issue that I have run into recently is the advent of the newer so called stable temp powders that seem to leave much more carbon than "normal" powders which I didn't realize until a high use rifle accuracy went south and I mean probably almost to Cape Horn it was so bad. I also had pressure signs that I never had before with same load that I have used forever. Bad carbon ring that took over a week of constant scrubbing to remove. I learned far too much about what cleaners claim to remove carbon versus [U]plain old elbow grease with JB.[/U] My shelf above my cleaning bench looks like a local automotive chemical wall. Yes, I have a bench dedicated to just cleaning which helps make the job much easier. You really should be knowledgeable of the powders you are using to realize the cleaning regiment may have to be altered to address the new needs of the bore. [/QUOTE]
