Example: S&W 25-2 .45 acp beautiful high polish blue
Shoot a few rds and spend an hour cleaning the residue. The cylinder flutes seem to be the hardest place to get the residue off.
Soak in Hoppes #9, Kroil, seems to make no difference. Nothing but elbow grease and lots of time will get it off.
It's almost enough to make a guy not want to shoot it! And I like to shoot everyday.
So far it has mostly been factory ammo but will soon be reloads and I plan to use Titegroup.
Is there anything I can coat the gun with that would help the cleaning process?
Is there enough difference in the residue left by different powders to make one stand out as the cleanest?
Any cleaning tips?
Thanks
