How do you clean your bores? I am cleaning with patches, Hoppes, then bore cleaner with brass bore brush , snake and more patches. Am I over killing or need more? Do you do this everytime or snake and have a beer?
First thing I usually do is pull a nylon bore brush from breech to muzzle, and brush out the cylinder holes too. Then it's patches and hoppes until they come out clean. Then one last patch with a little Remoil on it. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to get one clean, depending on what ammo I've been shooting.
