RE: Question for paper patch shooters
don,
in the interests of time, I push a bore pig well soaked in a 12% solution of Castrol soluble cutting oil with an arsenal patch in one pass.
pushing slowly allows the fouling to dissolve such that the drying patch is white.
the disadvantage of this is that a pig is harder to push than a loose patch.
it also probably does not clean the bore as well as 2 wets, the first going straight through and the second down, back, and down and out, followed by 1 or 2 dries.
this is the best if time allows.
getting the right sized jag has proven difficult to be just right with arsenal patches.
the creedmoor cup does not allow a lot of time for each shot.
pp works best with clean barrels, the cleaner the better for consistency. greasers might be a little more forgiving, but who wants to use them?
keep safe,
bruce.
