Cleaning is not the bugaboo most people make of it, especially not for a single shot. -Jim Watson
I tell folks my smokeless rifles take at least three times as long to clean as my BP rifles. It's a hard sell but it's true. 15 minutes, two squirts of Windex with vinegar, a dab of bore butter, 4 patches and I'm done. I spend more time wiping down the exterior than I do on the bore.
I decap & drop my cases in a jug of hot soapy water when I get home. A good shake, thorough rinse, a quick trip to a warm oven and they're ready to be tumbled or loaded again.
