The simplest way to minimize the problems, however, to postpone the Diamond Line, if you shoot a lot. In our tests of the Diamond Line Bana shows the barrel after 10,000 shots in caliber 6,5x55, no significant signs of tombakavlagringar and it is still good precision.

The best way to get off the burnt powder residue is to use a good bronze brush with the correct diameter, and a well's oil.Brass brush and cleaning fluid must be used every time you shot. The point is to dissolve the powder slurry. Torrdra afterwards with a linen cloth.

If you have old slag powder in the barrel, wrap a piece around a worn brush and apply JB pasta or Gold Medallion / Remington Bore Cleaner. This kind of exercise should be repeated every 300-500 th shot, if you have problems with the old gunpowder slag. The two abrasives are soft and are broken down to successively smaller particles. Thus wears not the race.Be sure to remove all polish.

Use a 'Bore Guide to center rod and minimize mess. Oil the race with a coat of oil after cleaning. This provides decreased coatings.

Recommended solventer:

  • Hoppe BR
  • Shooters Choice
  • Norma X-TEND NO 1
  • Hoppes No. 9 Nitro Solvent (excellent for .22LR)
Tombaklösare:

  • Sweet's
  • Robla Solo
  • Shooter Copper Remover
.22LR And hail
For lead .22 LR and hail, use a brush made of brass or steel, soaked with Nitro Solvent, which dissolves the lead. Wipe clean and pull in with a gun oil.

Share barrel into 3 parts. Please support the mouth of the barrel against a wall, so you do not run through the brush. Clean the barrel well afterwards with the oil and linen pieces.

I sure wouldn't want any tombakavlagringar in my rifle.

I remember a little talk by a well known rifle maker a few years ago at the Safari Club International convention. He mentioned the procedure he used to get moly out of a well coated barrel. He heated the barrel until red hot and then it came right out; of course the barrel was trashed but being in the business I guess it didn't matter much. A moly coated bullet will never go through one of my firearms.

As far as solventer goes, there are better cleaning agents than some you mention. The Hoppes stuff I used to use back in prehistoric times is pretty bad in general. Shooter's Choice is OK but I'm a bit untrusting when you can't leave a solvent in the bore without the fear of corrosion; if a barrel will corrode after long contact with a solvent, said solvent will also remove metal if used repeatedly for briefer times. The only things I consider using Shooter's Choice and the likes on is stainless steel barrels.

As for oil in the bore; I never use it. If you oil the bore and neglect to remove it before shooting through it, the first few shots will be high and it can actually deform your precision air gauged barrel. Products that protect and lubricate a barrel just as well as oil without the problems are Microlon Gun Juice and Prolong (the latter followed by a dry patch).

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
