So just wanting to hear some people's procedures. I have a solid process for the rest of the barrel and good equipment, but always have trouble getting the carbon ring and first few inches of rifling clean. I just put rounds down my new proof barrel and would like to stick to a good cleaning regimen on this barrel. I use #9 and boretech products but will always try something new if there is a better way to kill that hard to get carbon on the first few inches. Usually on my old barrels I would just pull out the bronze brush and knock it out but on this barrel I would like to find better processes or solvents and stick to nylon if possible. First range trip out I did my usual barrel break in and when I got home cleaned the barrel to where my patch will come out spotless but there is still carbon in the first few inches of the barrel. If nothing else I want to get it perfect atleast this time but with nylon and #9 it's not coming out. I do have the boretech carbon eliminator that will be here tomorrow.
