I shot my ROA today using Pyrodex.
I've read many accounts of being able to run it through the dishwasher (SS model). I tried that. It did nothing as far as I could tell.
I've also read accounts of easily using nothing but water. I used Dawn Power Clean.
I had a problem getting into the nipple recesses, the hammer notch, and the area between the top strap and top of barrel. And how do you clean the channel inside the nipple? I used a nylon bristle (.45) and the toothbrush like cleaning utensil that comes in the Hoppe's basic cleaning kit.
I went over it and over it and over it all again, and it's still not perfect. I've run it back through the drying cycle for now.
What do you use?
I never took out the nipples when I got it, and have no idea what that area looked like prior, and never looked down in the hammer notch.
What else should I do?
