I did, until I started using Wipe Out.

I have an old 336 that just won’t Group. I’m going to give JB a shot. I bought a little container of it a while back but haven’t seen a need for it.

I have a jar of JB Bore paste that sits on my bench. Only used it a few times for heavily fouled barrels. After bore is down to bare metal this stuff goes goes down the tube: Midway Linkdye, How are you applying it? Soak a patch or just wet it slightly? Do you clean the barrel before you shoot it after applying the Smooth-Kote?

Used to use JB every time I cleaned but now I use it only on new barrels like Gedubya and others and when prepping for a treatment of Dyna bore Coat. Just started using this and I think I will have less need of the JB after the treatment. Kroil is a good product but I make Ed's red by the gallon and add extra acetone to it if I need a penetrating oil. I use something else as a corrosion preventative. JB helped when I had a really stubborn shot gun to clean. It must have had layers or plastic and carbon like the rings of a red wood tree inside it even though it looked clean to the naked eye.
Kroil mixed with Shooters choice was the best around a while back, now there are several good products available. I use whatever is handy.

I haven't used them since I stopped shooting moly. I only stopped shooting moly because I was changing components too fast and it took too long to coat so many different bullets in small batches.
For me, moly only stopped the copper fouling in aftermarket barrels, my factory barrels were too rough. It did, however, seem to slow throat wear a lot. An example .. I had a .220 Swift in a 700 VSSF which I put over 2000 rounds through, all moly coated bullets. I assumed it was about used up so I consigned it to buy something else. A few days later the store owner and a perspective buyer called me to ask what was wrong with the gun. To their eye with a bore scope it looked like less than 200 rounds worth of wear, not 2000 .. and I was running a fairly hot load of 43.5 grains of H380 under 50 grain ballistic tips. I am convinced it works for extending barrel life even if it is not reducing fouling.

I mix JB with Hoppe’s No.9. Been doing it for a very long time.

I mix a couple of drops of Hoppes #9 in a shot glass of Chartreuse and I always sleep through the night.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
