Hi guys,
I need your help here. I shoot my 30-06 about 3 weeks ago @ 30 rounds using my own load with 150g remington core-lokt bullets. I can't remove those stubborn lead and copper. I used hoppes 9 and shooter's choice for solvents.
BTW, while I was at the range I will shoot 1 rd and wait for the rifle to cool off. While I wait I cleaned the barrel while it's still hot. I applied shooter's choice and wait about 5-10 minutes before I make a pass with a clean patch. Did this method somehow harm the bore?
This is not the first time I used this rifle and I have no problem cleaning before. I didn't use those 2 solvents at the same time. I make sure that the barrel is clean off the other solvent before applying another kind.
Oh, at 100 rds the grouping was 1.5". 5 shots each target.
