All I've ever used in my .50 T/C Hawken in patched balls and Goex fffg. All I've ever used to clean it is plain hot water. No soap, no vinegar, no windex, no need for any of that stuff. I've put several pounds of powder and several hundred balls through it over the last 20 odd years and the bore is still spotless and it still shoots cloverleafs from 50 yards. I use a charge of 75 gr's and have had zero issues killing deer with that load from 10-75 yards. BH, do you just spit patch to clean it at the range? If I shoot more than 6 shots yes. Up to 6 I can just reload and it continues to put ball after ball into tiny groups with no shift in POI. After 6 it just gets too had to seat another ball so I'll spit patch it out. I got rid of my inline because the sunofabitch had to be cleaned after every shot or the POI shifted several inches at 50 yards from shot to shot. What a PITA that was. It is nice to not use anything special for them other than hot water if you want. I have a 50 TC Hawken. Never fired the first ball thru it yet. What do you use for oil in the bore? I have been using olive oil in my BPCR, but wasn't sure what others are using. Never used anything but bore butter. Same for patch lube.
