chamber Cleaning???

[vanbuzen9]

Hey guys,

I was wondering how often, and also how one goes about cleaning the chamber of an encore.  I figure the boresnake I use to clean the barrel is just not thick enough to clean the chamber also.

thanks,

If you are shooting a straight walled cartridge, then the bore snake is enough to clean the chamber.  For a bottle necked cartridge, a large patch run into the chamber should be enough.  In firing, the chamber doesn't become nearly as dirty as the bore.
