Just wanted to make sure I am not doing something wrong to my new barrel. I have read tons and tons of barrel cleaning procedures. I use a Lucas bore guide and coated Bore Tech rod and start with a single saturated patch of Break free on a patch holder and loosly run it up and down the bore, being sure not to exit the crown. After removing most of the carbon, I run a couple dry patches with a tight jag and push these right through the end and out. I then attack the copper with either sweets 7.62 or Montana xtreme 50BMG nd patches on a jag, pushing them all the way through the barrel.
My question is, when I exit the crown with the patch and jag, should I unscrew the jag before I draw back the cleaning rod or is it ok to pull the jag, minus the dirty patch, back through?
Thanks!
