Please give me your steps for cleaning the barrel after a range session (or shooting at game). Also, you might add if and how you clean at the range. I'm talking 308 and 3006, if it matters.
Thanks so much!


Nylon brush with military formula break-free each time I put the rifle up, JB paste occasionally (six months or so) to shift anything in front of chamber...worked for fifteen years roo shooting and none of my barrels tipped over prematurely.

Cleaning is a bit like having a thing for knives in that you can end up chasing your tail for no advantage.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
