All greasers,First 5 with my good load 4 out of 5 in a 6inch bull, looking good. . Then tried some different loads, not to good. I was putting a dry patch behind the bore wipes, by then all the Black gun guys showed up so I cleaned my rifle. Whoa lead mine! I've never got any lead out of this rifle before. On the way home I thought I should have put a oiled patch behind the bore wipe, so when I got home got my brass in the ceramic mix and headed out to a different range . This time I used water in the tub with bore wipes and followed it with a water soluble oil mix on the patch. This range only goes to 300 so set up a 10"swingers and put 20 shots right on top of each other. Clean up showed no lead. Guess you just have to figure these things out for them to work right.

Had the lead mine happen to me too,when trying the bore wiper setup with grease grooves. With the M-Pro 7. I do not believe you can shoot grease grooves on a dry bore,especially in extreme hot weather. I will try them with a slightly damp patch following. I had carbon layer on lead,on carbon on lead and so on. Took three days to clean it out using every technique available to the modern shooter. For pp of course they would be the ticket. But I like their quick useage and design,just not on a clean dry bore shot after shot! Randy E.

3 guns 3 days several hundred cumulative rounds, wipers soaked in the 7-1 napa oil and water solution, and no leading out of the ordinary..Gullo has been running them for 2 years now...

don,
dan Theodore was talking about using napa oil in that concentration not long before his death.
he felt that the stronger solution would leave a slight film of oil in the bore to act as a lubricant.
keep safe,

Randy I was thinking the same thing about following with a damp patch rather than a dry one. I still haven't played with mine yet, probably next week. it definitely won't be hot and dry here though :-). I will try both ways, dry patch and damp patch. I've generally had bad luck shooting gg bullets with a dry bore.

Chris,shooting greasers, I had a lot of lead with a dry patch but when I followed it with a 7-1 oiled patch squeezed pretty dry then no more leading. I'm going to try 7-1 oil mix with no patch later this week.

Arsenal patch does wipe the moisture like a flannel patch does.
