I use pretty much the same procedure. Have been using Wipe-Out, and patches only, (no brushes) for at least the past 10 years or so on all my rifles. This stuff works extremely well. Knocking out the powder fouling before applying the Wipe-Out seems to make the best use of the product.


I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
