Title: Patterning: Cleaning the Barrel Between Shots
Post by: BDeal on February 27, 2017, 03:18:29 PM
Do most just run a bronze brush and ramrod through the choke and barrel between shots or is there a better way?

Thanks!!

Many of my guns respond differently to different methods of cleaning. Some do not like to be cleaned at all between shots, usually up to some number, before the patterns start to degrade. If you attend a still target shoot, you'll see all kinds of different methods of cleaning. The most common however is a dry brush into the choke a few times and then maybe once into the choke and bore.

Thanks,
Clark

A lot of guys on here use boresnakes, and I've started using them last year, and really like them. Like Clark said every shotgun is a different animal, so you just have to figure it out on a pattern board.
