Spray it on a patch and soak it down. Follow that with butchs on a bronze brush, a few butchs patches to flood it all back out then as a last step i run a patch soaked with carb cleaner down there to dry it all out. I dont have issues with carbon or copper

Thanks. Have you used lighter fluid to dry the bore out prior to shooting?

No. Lighter fluid leaves an oily film behind- which is why jewell suggests using it to flush their triggers out

I flush with non chlorinated brake cleaner, then break free on a patch. Many solvents will strip any protection from the barrel.

Lol, I'd be in some nut house painting ceramic figurines if I cleaned every 15 rds.
I bet your system works though. I look at cleaning as punishment for having so much fun.

The OP asked for what short range Benchrest shooters do to keep their rifles clean. That's what I do and many others I suppose.

Wipeout Patchout, not the foam, the liquids, works very well.
After an agg, completely clean with Thorroclean system which is relatively new by Chris Harris @ bullet central. It is IOSSO based in solution which is nylon brushed in the bore and then patched out with flushing solution....stuff works quite well on carbon, even most of a carbon ring without dedicated attention to the throat.....gotta like that.

I used the original G.M. Top Engine Cleaner (metal pop top cans) for quite a while. The active ingredient was a salt that broke down the carbon.

If you have a carbon issue, Shooters Choice Black Powder Gel does a nice job.

Good shootin'. -Al

Exactly. Most clean in under 10rounds unless its a 10shot unlimited match

I tried the seafoam top engine cleaner and while it worked, slowly, I find much better and faster carbon removal with Bortech C4.

Thanks,
