hi guys, I have a SB2-204 Ultra Varmint with synthetic 'dragunov style' stock.
I reload 28.0 of H4895 nosler brass, rem 7 1/2 primer and 39 SBK.
did the o-ring over the forearm stud trick. pretty well have it sighted in, but without a good 'n steady rest (haven't shot for groups yet) although I think'll hit a coyote
.
My question is what are you good people using to clean your barrels.
So far, and I will say, the rifle is basically new (only about 120 rounds down the tube), the patches keep coming out black.
This is over a half dozen cleaning 'sessions'.
I've used Shoot-r-choice Carb-Out and Wipe Out. I've also used Hoppes Elite Cleaner, swabbing the barrel and leaving it for an hour to overnight a couple of times.
I have used approximately 100 patches (2 at a time to get a tight fit) and although the first couple of passes they're really black, the remainder keep coming out medium to dark gray.
I'm guessing I have a barrel with 'rough' rifling, and need something super aggressive to dissolve and draw out the powder fouling.
I haven't contacted the company yet as I'm betting that the experience of the group here will be better than anywhere else.
thankyou in advance for your help
Rod
