Yes, gaschecks do lead the barrel, but the copper does not stick too hard because of the lube surrounding it. I don't worry about cleaning the barrel out unless accuracy wanes. ... felix

The trick to using Hoppe's #9 is to let it soak for a while. I soak with it for 15 minutes on a normal copper fouled bore. After the soak, run a brass brush in and out about 50 times. Then clean and oil the bore. It'll be sparkly clean,.
Felix,
I brought that up because the fellow said after shooting only casts he's still cleaning copper out of that bore, may be the gaschecks he's cleaning.

well guys thanks for all the advice. i have one question. should i remove the powder foul first or the copper first. oh and the TEC stuff where can i get that stuff from that sounds like some heavy duty stuff. i'm pretty much game for trying anything once and the wipeout sounds pretty good. again thansk for all the help.

Always, powder first. ... felix

Remove the powder fouling first.
