Left in an unclean state for a long time may also have a pitted bore,
Lead bullets, suchĪs those fired in pistols and rimfires, are less affected by this problem,īut will still perform better in a clean bore. ThisĬan happen in a little as 20 shots in some barrels.
Why fouling causes accuracy to drop off as more shots are fired. In pressure - in extreme cases, copper-clad bullets can be swaged downīy this fouling so they exit the bore slightly undersized, and this is This, in effect, reduces the size of the bore and can result in a rise Of fouling can occur in the bore, especially just in front of the chamber. If the firearm is neglected and many shots fired, a sandwich build-up The next shotĬauses the bullet to pass over the fouling and so on for subsequent shots. Or lead-fouling depending on what bullets are being used. When a firearm is discharged, particles ofīurnt powder and primer residue are left in the bore, along with copper Having said that, what shooter would not want his/her firearm to be as accurate as possible? If it works with these barrels, it certainly works on firearms not requiring such pinpoint accuracy. We do not use dubious methods when dealing with such precision instruments. A large part of this is the use of stainless steel match-grade barrels, which can cost more than $800 when fitted to an action. They incorporate every possible piece of technology to produce incredibly small groups.
Benchrest rifles are the Formula One of the centrefire rifle world. I base my cleaning routines on the way I clean my benchrest target rifles, and I continue to use these procedures down through the rest of my hunting firearms. What I consider to be the best method of cleaning firearms may differ from the opinion of others. Of the working mechanisms and the all-important bore. Last longer if they are properly maintained and treated with respect.Ī large part of this maintenance involves the proper cleaning and care Firearms work better, shoot straighter and
