Hi guys quick questions here about cleaning my rem700 30-6
I have cleaned the rifle several times, like 7 times with hopes #9 and a wire brush and then with a cotton patch with either rem oil or breakfree down the barrel to remove what the brush loosened up. The barrel looks clean when i look into it with a light, however every time i hit it with the wire brush and then run the patch with the lube down the barrel the patch comes out dirty.
No matter how many time i brush it and then run a patch down again the patch keeps coming out dirty the first time.
I already changed brushes in order to eliminate a dirty brush and i also experimented with this gray sandy cleaner that remington sell as a replacement for the hopes #9 and i keep getting the same results.
I only shot the rifle at the range once and i used remington yellow/green box ammo that they sell at walmart for like $18 and a box federal 30-6 the $14 dollar box of twenty round. Anybody know why i can't get a clean patch after cleaning the rifle at least 7 times? is that ammo that dirty?
