[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1847651, member: 17593"] You may not like this, but I have quit using Wipeout and just about all the other cleaners. I found a new method and absolutely love it! A gunsmith I respect gave me this tip that he got from a barrel maker. He said, to break in a new barrel he just installed, "shoot 5 and pull one". Whaaaat??? Pull one what? Run a bore snake lead cord down the barrel, use some light oil, I use Ballistol, squirted down it, and pull the snake through. One time. I have been doing that and see absolutely NO degredation of accuracy! His other advise was to always shoot a "wet" bore. I've run a couple hundred rounds before I do it in a broke in barrel. It was a duh moment! What do benchrest shooters do before and after shooting? Clean the heck out of it and THEN shoot fouling shoots before shooting groups! This should tell you it's a wet, fouled barrel for accurate shooting! Once in a while I'll run 2 snakes through, usually at end of season. Maybe clean it the old fashioned way IF accuracy has fallen off. So far, that ain't happened! Oh, and yes, I too smelled ammonia from Wipeout when i used it years ago. [/QUOTE]
