I have another post asking about something call "Salt Away"
A friend who has a boat says it's the best thing for removing salt.
We have lots of salt water here.
I was thinking of trying it to clean up after shooting my Chassepot.
I read someplace that "Ballistol" works well with black powder.
I have two cans I bought when they first saw it at a product show years ago.
Figured I'd give it a try before trying the "Salt Away"
Mix is 10 to 1 with water. Looks like skim milk.
After shooting today I gave it a try.
It worked great.
Soak the barrel. Push a patch through.
Repeat.
Third time patch came out almost clean.
Soaked and ran a nylon brush through it 10 times.
Soak and push a patch through.
Repeat.
Patch came out clean.
Took less than half the time to clean.
According to the web site, just let it dry. It will form a thin coating to protect from rusting.
No need to oil.
I'll check it tomorrow to see how it's doing.
Except for the smell, I'm liking it.
