    Subscribed, this should be good!

    Personally, in my Tikka M595 .243 I don't use copper removing bore solvents. I just patch out till clean, with some ballistol towards the end of the process. This has been the process for this particular rifle since new 13ish years ago. Admittedly, around 3 years ago I did flush it with some bore-tech, but won't bother again as there was no noticable difference.

    Accuracy is brilliant but only up until around 15 shots. After that, groups open up considerably, and fast. A couple of patches and carry on. I guess my window is smaller than most?

    Interested to hear what others have experienced too!
    Dead is better likes this.
