I also found sabots from last year that had blowby marks on em from bh209 when compared to the 777 ones which had no signs of gas blowby
and it was a pleasure to clean the barrel and breech plug with butches black powder bore compared to cleaning with bh209 solvent

butches black powder bore shine is good stuff
777 crud ring is a non issue.........

take out breech plug fill it up with boreshine(very small squirt)
set aside
go to barrel

run a brush with a patch with bore shine on it thru the barrel
breech to muzzle
take patch off
push brush thru
reverse patch on brush
push back thru

do this twice
total of 4 wet patch passes, 2 brush passes

run dry patch on brush thru once and reverse patch
then run breech plug thread brush into breech twice
twist with threads while withdrawing it out

then bore snake twice
barrel is good

cleaning breech plug fire channel with small drill bit
q tips
cut up pipe cleaners
and a stretched out paper clip for the flash hole

takes me about 10 minutes to clean between shots

I like to hunt with clean barrel and zero with clean barrel for same shot conditions /barrel pressure/velocity as much as I can control myself

im anal about chit I geuss
comes from being an infantryman for 24 yrs and making sure joes kept their chit in working order at all times

always been a Nazi about firearm condition
nothing ticks me off more than a dirty weapon or people blaming weapons for not functioning properly when they don't take care of em

sometimes your life or your buddies life depends on your weapon being able to go bang and hit chit ya know..........
