Corrosive primers vs black powder
I know the mantra for cleaning my flintlock after shooting black powder.What is the correct technique for cleaning ,lets say, a 303 SMLE after shooting corrosive primed mil-surp ammo? Do you just concentrate yer effort in the bore itself,or do you have to "wash" everything that accumulates any soot like the bolt face,mag feed rails,etc?
de-ionized water vs distilled water
Would de-ionized water dissolve salts better than distilled water? If so,would those alone,without soaps and detergents be all you need?
