Ok, good to know. Just to be clear, are you running your rod starting at the barrel tip pushing down towards the breech plug? I have been removing the breech plug between shots, and cleaning by pushing the rod from the breech end towards the tip of the barrel.I do NOT do a thorough cleaning between shots. But I do run a wet patch (both sides) and a dry patch (both sides) between each shot.
Do NOT use brushes or bore butter between shots. Windex followed by a dry patch is all you need.
There will be a crud ring down where the bullet sits and it you run the cleaning rod down all the way the first stroke, it may get stuck. I run it down till I meet resistance and then do a series of short strokes until I get the patch bottomed out. After that first patch clears, you can do the second patch without resistance.
In my limited experience, the crud ring was only removed by brushing back and forth with a nylon brush. Do you completely remove the crud ring between shots or only every few shots?
Thanks!!!
