Jack, I have a 17 Rem that I have come to terms with. I understand the frustration you had when no cleaning rods were available. I finally learned to clean mine to bare metal and then coat the barrel with moly. By only shooting moly treated bullets I can now shoot approx. 50 shots before I run a Kroil patch through the bore to get the powder fouling out and go back to shooting. This only happens about once a year anymore. The replacement is a .20 wildcat I made about 5 years before the .204 came on the market. It is the Death Ray. Put the crosshairs on a p-dog, pull the trigger and watch him explode. You don't wait long.
