Evening Folks
I don't scrub my rifle bores using solvent on the brush, After shooting, before I leave the range, I run the brass/bronze brush down the bore 1 pass for each 10 shots fired. I then run two patches through the bore with Hoppe's on the patch. After I get home I run a dry patch through it then another patch with Hoppe's and let sit over night. The next day it's a dry patch followed by additional cleaning as necessary. I use the Outers foaming bore cleaner when I feel it is necessary. I have not given up on other bore cleaners such as Sweets or JB bore cleaner ,Shooters Choice etc I just go with what I feel is necessary.
My son has a Winchester Mdl 70 30.06(Stainless) and it must have been the first barrel rifled after changing broaches as this barrel is so smoothe on the inside that it is very noticable compared to my other rifles when running a patch through to clean. You get hardly no copper fouling out of it and the burnt powder residue comes out easily.
The Outers foaming cleaner has done very well on the military rifles I have bought. MC
