    Loobing handgun barrels

    Maybe it is just superstitious, or just me, but I like to take a little of the loob I use on my boolits, put some on patch and run through my handgun barrels. Kinda like writing with a crayon on the patch until the patch is slightly colored, but I like to have just a thin coating in the bore.

    Anyone else do it?

    I run a kroil patch, and then follow up with 2 dry patches when done. Best cold bore results I've found.
    It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

    So long as it stays away from ammunition and primers!!!!!!! I run it down barrels too, but not on any weapons I keep loaded.

    A clean barrel takes a shot, nothing works as good as a shot.

    You mean you're supposed to clean your handgun? LOL

    I have always just cleaned my revolver, final patch with a little Remoil through the cylinder chambers and barrel and good to go. Final wipe down overall with oily rag.

    I TL all of my cast with Alox/paste wax so in my case, I wouldn't be too keen on wiping down the bore with that. LOL
