Yesterday I fired 50 rounds of CCI ammo through my new .17 HMR Contender.
Cleaning the barrel was more difficult than I expected. I used a bore brush twice, six passes each time, and I ran 25-30 patches through the barrel without ever getting a really clean patch.
I was using Hoppe's #9 as a solvent.
Is this typical of the caliber and/or the CCI ammo?
