I patterned yesterday and think I should be pretty happy with what I've got. I have shot several shells, mostly cheaper turkey loads, getting my poi right and then 3 nitros testing. How should I go about cleaning to get my gun back cleaned and ready to go and possibly improve my pattern? Just a bore snake with an improved choke in, or patches w solvents then dry patches?
I clean with solvent dripping off a pad. Then I brush the barrel for a couple minutes after I feel like its been thoroughly brushed I take another brush and wrap a pad around it, run it once thru changing the pad till it comes clean. Once that complete I use alcohol on a pad wrapped around the brush and run that thru a few time.
put your cleaning rod in a cordless drill, soak the heck out of a pink or yellow scotchbrite pad, unless your barrel is chromed then just use chrome polish on a mop.
Then use a clean dry mop or patches and run it through with that, keep the drill moving at all times! Mirror shine!

dry brush then alcohol or anything to get the oil out the barrel. Then dry brush it ever few shots. If you been in the rain or wet conditions oil it when home but clean oil out b4 next hunt or shoot.
