Shootist you must have read my mind as I was looking at the website . I also see that I need nylon brushes for my various calibers. I am used to using metal brushes! Thanx !
Correct on the nylon brushes - and I suggest the Bore Tech brand since they have an aluminum (not brass) stem. Bore Tech will attack brass, if not removed promptly. (Duh!)
I use aluminum jags for one or two calibers, but still use brass jags for most. To remove the Bore Tech from brushes, jags, etc., when finished I flush with KG3 (solvent/degreaser). Brake Cleaner or similar will work too, of course. I just happen to like the KG product.
I still have Hoppies No. 9 on my bench. I think I've used it twice in the last year for quick and dirty. And that was when I was doing a clean-up after glass bedding rifles.
I think Bore Tech makes more than just one product. I just use the basic "Eliminator".
4 or 5 wet patches (fairly snug fit) - one way only. (I also use a bore guide.)
Wet brush with nylon (both ways, although I just hate the two-way thing).
Then another 4 or 5 wet patches (one way again),
Edit:
Wait 5 min or so, then Dry Patch.
Note: You could stop here and oil or whatever....
I add the step of a quick flush with the KG3 (or similar) - including the chamber.
Dry Patch chamber and barrel, then oil as normal.
