Thread: cold/clean bore shot

My first shots in a cold barrel are generally pretty good. Normally on the money but just slightly low. I always at least put a snake bore thru if fired a shot in the field everytime when I get home. If fired a few shots at the range I generally put a patch thru until clear and every so often with hopes. Rifles always shot reasonable well right from the start at the ranget and never had huge flyers etc. don't go over board with the cleaning of the barrel but I just like it to look clean looking down it before I go for a hunt and it seems to work as everytime at range the firsty shot is never a big issue and it still be a money shot .

i think kroil is a winner
the dude from Gunworks wrote an article about kroil saying that a lite cote of Kroil after cleaning for storage till using it again goes a long way to alleviate this problem and i totally agree with him i don,t seem to have this problem any more but please make sure you always put a patch through the barrel before using your firearm again
in fact i now have changed the way i clean my barrels
, i use a good quality carbon remover (KG1 is good) that removes powder fouling and carbon build up, then i use kroil seems to take me less time to clean
