Thanks Erik. I shoot Benchrest with Speedy and when Speedy Talks - People Listen. I appreciate you putting this video together. I believe everyone can benefit from learning how to properly clean their rifle barrels regardless of the discipline they shoot. Keep them coming!

While shooting benchrest are you holding the rifle in any way or is it on its' rests and you only look through the scope and touch off a very light trigger?

Taint nutt'n. I shoot the word with Jesus, cuz we friends, and when Jesus talks - People better listen. Dang, I sure wish they would start making barrels out of something harder than bronze, say steel perhaps. I especially hate it when the end of my barrel gets all belled out from the brass and fiber rod materials, harummppfff! Yes, I know even water will wear away a mountain and that is why I never use anything liquid in my barrels. Moral of the Story: Sometimes even the best shooters may be prone to shoot'n the BS. Just a tad skeptical. If you can provide legitimate documentation that normal use of a bronze brush will ruin a barrel I will humbly apologize as I'm not to proud to admit that I am wrong, even if Jesus is my friend. ;-)

@@14goldmedals I shoot both light and unlimited class 1000yd benchrest at Williamsport, Pennsylvania. When I shoot my shoulder is just against the but plate without putting any shoulder pressure against. If you put shoulder pressure against you will get all kinds of vertical and horizontal dispersion in your groups at 1000yds. I let my face just barley touch the stock but again no pressure against it the stock. Then my hand is just around the pistol grip area on both my wheeler LRB stocks with again no pressure. Both rifles have Jewell benchrest triggers set under 2ounces

@@OlTrailDog KZbin randos that don't have the winning records of somebody like either of these two guys to fall back on while attempting to throw shade on them are even more prone to shoot'n the BS. How many of these benchrest shooters at the top of their game can you name who are still using bronze brushes? Know ANY of them? They aren't cleaning the barrel on a Remington or Winchester hunting rifle that only gets fired a few times a year - and gets cleaned a lot less than that. Nice thing is that we all get to decide who we think is more likely to be accurate in offering their advice and opinions. Guys who have been winning matches for decades... or KZbin randos.

I've been using Speedys cleaning routine with great success for many years. I will add that while this most always applies to match grade barrels, it doesn't always work as well on factory barrels. I've had several hunting rifles (with questionable bores) that needed to be heavily fouled before they would shoot well. You'll have to experiment if you have such a rifle. Thanks again Speedy!!!

Thank you Eric for this and all of your videos. I am new to centerfire competition shooting and reloading. You do a great job of sharing knowledge and presenting these concepts in a way that someone new can understand. I see a lot of people explaining these concepts/methods/procedures in an overly complicated way that confuses and discourages new shooters. If you don’t understand how something actually works, you just end up copying what others do, not understand if it’s a good or a bad idea. Strong buildings are built on solid foundations. Thank you for your continued assistance as I am beginning to build my shooting foundation.

Things change. Over time, solvents, equipment, and techniques improve and get refined. Dad was NBRSA National Champ in '75 or so, and my family would be at a match almost every other weekend when I was growing up. I was at Skunk Creek Range the day Mac McMillan shot his "almost perfect" group. Back then, we scrubbed the bores with bronze brushes dipped in Hoppe's No.9, dried it with a patch, and called it good. Thanks to you and Speedy for this.

I'll never shoot benchrest. I doubt I'll ever participate in any matches of any kind at all... I like to go out and ring steel at extended range, so if I can stay within 1/4 to 1/2 moa I call it good. But, if I work up a load that stacks them all in one hole I won't be mad... but I don't obsess over it. However, listening to Erik and Speedy has definitely helped improve my shooting. So I always listen to the lesson. For me, getting better for the sake of being better is more valuable than medals or accolades.

In PRS you need to go about 250 rounds without cleaning. If you clean between day 1 and day 2 at a lot of matches you will have no fouling shots available starting day 2. Your first 3 to 5 shots are generally at a lower velocity after a cleaning and this can mean a terrible first stage of day 2. The reality of PRS is that 1/2 MOA is all that is needed to hit every target. Our rifles will stay 1/2 MOA for well over 250 rounds so don't worry about cleaning until after the match. I like to clean my barrel before a 2 day match and have at least 20 rounds fired before I start the match.
@fandango_buttlicks

I'll disagree with everything you just said. 1 after cleaning the barrel has less resistance, so in my case I get higher velocity. 2. Most ranges have a 100 yds line or more before the match starts, both days for people to shoot before the match starts, so you can foul your bore and get dope. 3. Depending on the powder and barrel combo you might have to clean after the first day. I use winchester staball because I can find it and it's affordable and it yields great velocity with single digit ES SD numbers across a 10 shot string. The down side is its dirty. I tried going 2 days with out Cleaning and got a carbon ring built up which was grabbing the bullet and creating erratic pressures. I got a 0 on 1 stage, a 2 on the next and a 3 on the next stage. Then it broke and I cleaned the last stage which was a prone long distance stage, from 1000 out to 1250. My point is if I cleaned that rifle I wouldn't of dropped 20 spots on the 2nd day. It cost me big time. But it all depends on powder and barrel combo, for me I will clean every single day

Great video Erik! First, I shoot PRS, and I clean my barrel to some degree after every session...If that's 50 rounds of practice or a 100 round match, I at least run some patches and give it a good brushing. A "light" cleaning doesn't seem to affect my first round accuracy. After a deep cleaning, 5 shots and I'm back on track. I also look at the carbon ring and assess how bad it is and then deep clean for that ring. I tend to believe that the pros saying they "clean every 500-600 rounds or when accuracy falls off" are, well, maybe not telling us the real story. Thanks again for getting one of the greats to give his perspective along with yours.

I was thinking about this video, Very well done, You keep going back to PRS shooters. Bench rest is a art and science,scores are measured in tenths, and it doesn;t matter the distance 25 yards or 1000 yards. A clean barrel is a happy barrel. F class hit the bloody 10 ring the most amount of times at a given distance. Both of these events gives the shooter plenty of time to clean or reload rounds between rounds. Its a rich mans sport. PRS as you know is a timed event. Maybe 20 stages at different distances. One doesn:t have time between stages to as I would say Piss About. As you know in PRS all you have to do is hit the target . A rifle of this type of build costs about $7500 Scope included. 1500 rounds throw the barrel away. Why clean it. New barrel is about $350 to 500 ready to go. I went to a PRS meet at Rockland Precision in Rockland PA . Spoke to the shooters. The majority of them all say the same thing about cleaning Why bother I'm not shooting groups. Hopes this helps you understand. Luck to you.

I think most people that get into match shooting that don’t understand the gunsmithing side, see the barrel as being an ideal constant. They need to look at the barrel as a constantly evolving consumable, because it is. Each one has a personality. I shoot a lot of disciplines. I tend to pick and choose what cleaning I use based on what my individual accuracy tolerance allows for the given cartridge/weapon system. But I’m constantly evolving too. Last year’s “best thing ever.” Might be this year’s taboo. But when a benchrest shooter/smith says he does such and such, I generally take heed. He knows and understands accuracy in its most pure and maddening form. He reloads on the range for the conditions, not just reading wind. He understands mechanical accuracy better than anyone and he measures groups in thousandths not minutes. I might not be able to use it in the field. But you can bet I will at least try to implement it into my own process. Mr. Gonzales has forgotten more about precision marksmanship that most will really know. Appreciate him taking the time to share. When I first started my shooting career KZbin wasn’t there and *some of* the guys that were winning weren’t as forthcoming. Thank you!

I'm glad for whatever reason, my current cleaning method is not so far off from what Speedy does (although I'm pretty sure my set-up and my capability wouldn't notice the difference if I cleaned every 60 rds or every 600). Thanks Erik for including the link to the graphite stuff he used - that's one of the big things I'm not doing and didn't know about!

Very good content. So what size brush to clean carbon ring works best for 308? You mentioned 6.5 works best for 6mm and it got me wondering, so my guess would be a brush typically used for 338 would be best for 308, however I’m always told these brushes are for all “30 cals”

I use to use Boretech which is absolutely great solvent. Speedy's friend Bud who I shoot Light and Unlimited Class 1000yd benchrest with and who is a good friend of mine is a personal dealer of these solvents and they are what I use now. All my rifles weather I shoot them 3 times or 50 times in one day they get cleaned properly that evening

I didn’t know speedy was left handed. Never met him but read a lot about him as a legendary benchrest gunsmith and shooter.

Great information! Much appreciated. What brand, or run of barrels or makers do you suggest? Knowing that every barrel is unique... Into BR.. Pretty new to this.

Hi, Erik. Just finding this video. Very valuable information. Someone down below mentioned Hoppe's #9. Do you find that there is a particular solvent, or line of solvents that work the best, or better than most? I had been using Lucas Bore Cleaner & the Lucas Gun Oil, but recently picked up Bore Tech Eliminator, Copper Remover, and Carbon Remover. Do you have experience with any of these 3 brands? I know Hoppe's has been around for years, but I've never used it. Is it super corrosive? All the bottles on the store shelves seem to melt the label off. Also, do you agree with Speedy that Iosso make the best brushes? I also picked up a digital borescope recently and can see how this will be a very valuable tool moving forward. Thank you, Tyler

Great video Erik, I have one question for you, do you clean your barrel to bare metal every time you clean it or is it mostly to remove carbon? Thanks again for all your knowledge.

Fantastic. Are these methods and chemicals are used for blued steel barrels or is this just for stainless?

When Speedy closed shop in Texas (without finishing my rifle build), he took my Rem 700 VSSF action with him. His old Co workers told me good luck ever getting it back.
