[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1848523, member: 38048"] I use regular bronze brushes. I first push 2 wet patches through to get mostly the powder fouling out. Then a patch with eccelerrator followed up with a patch of patch out. I then scrub it with the brush. You will see it foam up when both are used together like this. I let it sit for 10 minutes and patch it out. I repeat till no copper shows up on the patch. I shoot mostly 1000 yard compatition so I clean after every relay. So about every 20 shots. This comes clean in 2 applications. Then I run the goop mix just on a brush. No patch on the brush. After 20 strokes I let it sit for 10 minutes and patch it out. Normally the barrel will be spotless after doing this. 10 minutes of sitting time is just a reference time as you can really leave it in as long as you want. If I shoot a morning relay then I have all day to clean and I might leave the cleaner in for hours. I always have my muzzle pointed slightly down and you can see the copper coming out the muzzle dripping off. The goop mixture doest drip at all. Then of course I clean the chamber out and that's about it. If you have a bore scope use it between cleanings to monitor how clean your barrel is. This will tell you if your cleaning as good as you think or does it need more cleaning. Keep up with the carbon ring and it will not form. Once carbon starts to build up it's a pia to get out. So don't let it build up. Shep [/QUOTE]
