Ask 20 people how to best clean a gun and you will get 22 or so answers. I have a Howa 1500 Lightning in .308. Once and for all, what do I need to do after shooting it at the range? AND what kind of rod, cleaner, oil et. should I use? The patches I got for it are supposedly for the .30 cal range, but I have to cut them down or they positivly will not go through. I clean and clean but the patches still come out with black on them. I always finally just give up and run a slightly oiled patch through and let it go at that. Very frustrating. Any help is appreciated!
