wow ty for the info it explains alot about whats going on on with my model70 270 losing patterns at rang .any suggestions on recovery of patterns are they just goon for good
I have a Otis kit from the early 1990's before they got military contracts and made a name for themselves. The company is based near here. I also have Dewey rods although I used heavy sectional rods in the military for years. I always try to clean from chamber to bore.
Thank you for sharing! I actually just bought a sectional rod by Gunslick over the week end. Says its coated steel. Does that mean its okay to put through my AR?
@OneArmCrank A coated rod is the BEST way to go when it comes to cleaning bad fouling from a gun. A Boresnake or Otis cleaning kit is also something I always have on hand too. Hard to hurt the bore with either of these.
@MrPauly1122 Any of the bristle brushes available at Wal Mart are fine. Just keep in mind some bore solvents such as Sweet's 7.62 will destroy the brushes. It dissolves them.
And folks ! USE gas checks on any lead bullet over 1,600 fps to prevent lead fouling of your gun bores. I shoot cast lead in .30-06 above 2,000 fps with very little leading at all. Proper size, proper alloy, good lube, and gas checks. It might be time for a different video for casting rifle bullets soon.
@rcruz003 YES ! The best tip of all is to NOT get lead fouling to begin with. Properly size the bullets to the bore. Stick with about .001" over GROOVE diameter. Use a good quality bullet lube for the velocity you're shooting. Don't use too hard of an alloy for the velocity you're shooting. I have several cast bullet shooting rifles. I have NO lead fouling in any of them. Commercial cast bullets are often too hard -- reason is -- they dent during shipping.
i know you have a video an the savage 99 but im to lazy to go find it. im a huge fan of your videos is there anything i can do to fix the headspace on my savage 99? im getting a pit of primers pertruding a bit more than usual after shooting.
Thanks for the info! New to the rifle scene so that'll help me avoid any problems in the future.
