How often do you use it?

[RetiredArmy]

For those who use J.B. Bore paste, how often do you use it?
Thanks Bill

As needed, which for me is in the range of 150-200 rounds…

 

[Bc'z]

Same here

I use Iosso about every 100 rounds. Just a bit, but regularly. As rounds get in the teens it goes maybe every 50. When I can feel the patch grabbing it's time.

If I clean just the throat with a patch of Eliminator or similar right after shooting and find I can go much longer without forming a carbon ring and needing the Isso or JB. I check with a borescope and I am good for over 100 rounds.

I average same as rwj and Bc’z

 

[Alex Wheeler]

Used to use it every 100-200 now it's more like every 500.

'Bout every 500 rounds. (And record it for each barrel.)

Never used it but I’m interested in it. What’s your cleaning method using JB?

Patch wrapped around a Parker Hail jag soaked with a Kroil and Hoppes #9 mix,
J.B. smeared onto patch to create a slurry. About 10 passes without leaving the muzzle. I generally do this 2 to 3 times and done. This is of course after the normal cleaning with your choice of solvent and bronze brush.

I limit exposure to approximately the first two inches of the rifling to remove hardened carbon deposits. Like @wedgy, l clean with Eliminator immediately after shooting while the barrel is still warm and have found the practice effective.
