I shoot a 6gt 109 bergers and varget and my rifle has been pretty consistent around 2800fps. I never go more than around 150 shots before cleaning and always clean after the first day of a 2 day prs match.
I recently picked up a bottle of thoroclean. I get tired of having to wait for carbon solvents to actually work. Ive used it a hand full of times and seems like it cleans my barrel really fast with little effort.
My routine is two patches of the flush, about 15 strokes with a nylon brush coated in the paste, about 5 dry patches, repeat the nylon brush and dry patches three more times, then at the end i push about 5 wet patches of the flush followed by another 5 patches.
This past weekend I was shooting in Mississippi and all day Saturday from the begging of the match till the end my rifle shot 2804 fps. Went to the hotel Sunday and did my normal cleaning routine. When i got back to the range Sunday morning for site in my gun was 60 fps slower and only got up to about 2775.
My question to those that have been using thoroclean is this something yall have seen. And no the barrel isnt shot out it shot very well and the SDs and ESs were very. Groups around 3/8 of an inch maybe has 700 rounds on the barrel.
