    No problem Sweets shifts copper better than most more expensive solutions, just don't leave it in the barrel for very long,
    Use a Nylon bristle brrush Sweets eats Bronze brushes and gives a false blue trace, A good scrubbing with JB compound or Auto Sol
    will help smooth the barrel out, my Sako 6.5x55 took a while to settle down
    The problem with Moly bore paste it can trap moisture under the coating and cause corrosion

    Great advise here ^^^
    Auto Sol is a better choice than JB in my opinion. Just don't come out past the muzzle end if using a cloth wrapped around a smaller brush, rumours are that it could wear the crown a little.
