Hey Xring, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your latest cleaning a precision rifle video. I took copious notes and have tried to follow your recommendations precisely. I do have one question, I hope you can comment further on the issue of copper buildup. I know that some copper buildup is a good thing and facilitates a smooth bore to improve accuracy. I have a Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor, shooting usually 120 or 140 grain ELD-M. Other than seeing larger groups, is there a recommendation you have about when/how often to clean copper buildup. BTW, best of luck to Mini-X as she becomes a more accomplished shooter and reviewer. She has a great teacher. Best, Sandy

Hello and thanks for the video. I understand that the bore guide helps fluid and debris from being put into the chamber area, but if you are going to clean out the chamber and action area afterwords, why would it matter? Also how is a brass rod used without a bore guide going to ever scratch or damage the much much harder than brass barrel steel? Obviously brass or bronze brushes are used often anyways in your bore to scrub it out. Also why is pulling the brass or bronze brush through the barrel towards the chamber going to damage the much harder barrel steel, or does the brush get trashed when its pulled backwards? Please help me understand the logic behind these frequently mentioned things. Thank you and enjoy shooting! ✌️😎👍

Really enjoy your channel- I’m pretty new to precision shooting and just bought a Tikka in 6.5 creedmore. Would be interested in your opinion on how to properly break in the barrel. Have seen many different opinions from no break in necessary to elaborate cleaning after most every shot... Thoughts?
@XRING5 жыл бұрын
Hey Ray, Great question. I have read, done and tried the methods. I also understand the pros and cons to it. If you have all the necessary stuff to clean correctly i.e. no steel sectional rods etc. then I don’t think it hurts to break them in. Here is what I do with a precision type rifle. This is my personal regimen for what I do. 1. Clean first with solvent and finish up with a dry patch. 2. Shoot 1 and clean. Repeat 3 times. 3. Shoot 3 and clean. Repeat 3 times 4. Shoot 5 and clean. Slow fire no heat. 5. Shoot 10 and clean. Slow fire. What I have found is that the barrels typically don’t hold a lot of copper when broken in this way. Others will have different opinions but this has worked for me for years. Many manufacturers recommend something very similar to this for break in procedures. Thanks for watching.

Hi Ray, great video! What type of dispenser bottles are suitable to store and dispense Hoppe 9 bore cleaner and Bore Tech copper remover? Are they both LDPE plastic? I am just trying to make sure I don't contaminate my rifle by various chemicals in case one of these products dissolves dispenser bottle. Thanks!

Hello Vadim. I have been using these bottles for years with zero disintegration from Hoppes or Boretech. I buy them from Midway USA.

What about the chamber? It gets fouled as well.

I forgot to mention that I usually use a brush wrapped with a patch to clean the chamber. Hoppes and then a dry patch.
