Tried a variation of D Coots routine on my 6 PPC which has nearly a thousand rounds down the tube.
Couple wet patches of Tactical Advantage immediately after last group at range. Followed by 15 strokes with bronze brush and TA, then 15 strokes with Accelerator, let sit overnight.
Wet patch, then a few dry patches the next afternoon, followed by the same routine of wet patches and brushing with TA and Accelerator, let sit overnight again. Ran the bore scope down the barrel before the second application and there was just a few small spots of the heavier carbon at the end of the throat.
Same routine for a third day, when I patched it out yesterday, first patch had just a small bit of carbon, then clean patches.
Approximately a 1/2” in from the throat after 3 applications of TA and Accelerator and overnight soaks.
Approximately 1” in from the throat.
Barrel was spotless 2” in from the throat after initial application, and there was a minimal difference between the 2nd and 3rd applications. Other than 40 X cleaner, which will take it down to bare metal, I haven’t found anything that does better, and I have tried the majority of the highly touted and recommended solvents that aren’t abrasive oriented. Your mileage may vary.
