Rifle Bore cleaning ?

Well boys & maybe girls,



May I please ask for another person's opinion / critique on my cleaning method, I'll try not to be long winded about it:
1-Run a wet patch w/Shooters Choice on a jag through bore, same direction as bullet travels always, drop patch at the muzzle, then repeat. Let set a minute or so.

2-Run a dry patch through, turn patch over, repeat. (If in the field do this every 30-40 rounds) continue shooting varmints / PD's.

3-After 60-80 rds. Repeat steps 1 & 2

4-Run wet patch w/Barnes CR-10 or Sweets I sometimes alternate. Run wet nylon brush, back & forth through bore. Let it set 5-10 Min., no longer.

5- Run dry patch through, same as step #2.

6- Run wet patch w/rubbing alcohol through, turn over, repeat.

7- Run dry patch through, turn over, repeat.

8- Run wet patch w/Kroil through, turn over, repeat.

9- Run dry patch, turn over, done.

"O'B"

If it gets your bore as clean as you like it, it must be OK. Only you can judge that.
