I like to clean guns...

[Larryjk]

I wouldn't exactly say I love cleaning guns but I feel I need a clean barrel for especially my rifles to perform. I shoot groups from a clean barrel when working up loads and feel the same loads will shoot where I am aiming when fired from a clean barrel. I am also an advocate of "moly'" treated barrels and bullets. Everything below 25 caliber gets the"moly" treatment. I don't put brushes through the barrels but use tight patches with ammonia based cleaners. The last thing I put through the barrel is a patch or two with Kroil, and then a dry patch.
Living with a 17 Remington taught me these principles after a conversation with Walt Berger of Berger bullets.
