Took a while, but I have worked up a few loads that will shoot ~1 1/8" -1 1/4" @100, but unfortunately, because of health problems and a really hot summer, haven't been able to make it to the range for a while. Hopefully, soon, though.
Now: Reading and watching David Petzal on "Gun Nuts", he opines that the ONLY way to clean a rifle barrel is Shooter's Choice or similar product for the carbon fouling, then J.B. bore cleaner for the copper fouling.
I've found that foaming cleaners work just fine, and are convenient, but are a bit more messy than the J.B., but since I don't know everything, wonder if there is an advantage to either method?
I've noticed, and had shooting buddies tell me that a squeaky-clean barrel takes a number of rounds to "settle in", and regain its pre-cleaning accuracy... both big bore and .22 rimfire.
So; what say? I'm sure there are at least 2 opinions for everybody on the forum.
