Wiping technique

[desert deuce]

10,000 arsenal patches is about half of one case and you already have them. No additional cost to you.

The PROSHOT cotton flannel end up costing about $18.00 for a 750 bag by the time you get them to the range.

The thing I notice most is no matter how much wiping fluid you put on the cotton flannel patch a lot of it winds up in the chamber and therefore the receiver of the rifle and never makes it to the muzzle.

It is the conditions I shoot under each day that determines which type I use. In either case, the purpose is to mitigate as much as possible the build up of hard fouling, not clean the barrel between shots so the wiping solution is just as important and also can vary here due to conditions.

Even blow tubing can work just fine if there is sufficient humidity and absence of high heat build up inside the bore. However, I load with the bullet seated into the rifling and blow tubing will not work for that technique.

With that said, the reason I am trying out the BACO bore wipes is that they seem to work just fine regardless of the conditions and that would make hard fouling control easier and more uniform in competition. So far so good.
