Wiping technique

[Don McDowell]

Without going into the BACO bore wipe system....
If you soak some 2 inch patches in 7-1 water/napa oil mix, then ring those patches out in a potato ricer, then push 1 thru the bore with a nylon brush works well. The deleon rod works well too, depending on how wet those patches are you can follow up with a dry patch. The trick is to not remove all the oil from the bore, so you don't have bare lead riding on dry metal, but not have a puddle of water in the bottom of the lands to bugger things up.
