What would be the pro and cons of using a couple of PP for cleaning after a range day of J and boolits? I keep reading about the clean bores and was wondering if this would be a good way, fire 2-3 pp and then just a couple wet patches for powder fouling. No more scrubbing copper/lead? If this would work then why are there no commercialy available 'cleaning bullets'?
Never tried it on copper. Should work. Does a real good job on lead though.
45 AUTO! Because having to shoot someone twice is just silly!
Firing patched loads, at least with smokeless, does indeed polish the bore like nothing I have seen. My bores are like mirrors.
I did run some lapping compound on some for really neglected bores.
I'm convinced.
I wonder how a bore polished with PP would behave with copper jackets? Less copper fouling? My rust textured two-groove No4 doesn't copper foul at all after fire-lapping but then I do apply a waxy-lube to the bullet base and chamfer so there is always a layer of lube in the bore
