Bore wipers

[Kurt]

Yes Jim it has been quiet here. Good to see you and Arnie.

Jim, I just throw then in the ultrasonic cleaner with soapy water for a few minutes and then into a coffee can with water and shake it for a spell and that does a fair job.

I like to make my own things and this is how I make my bore wipers. That keeps me busy when it gets cold enough to make the fingers hurt LOL.

When I head out to the Quigley I make a stop at a CB hat maker at Rapid City SD. and he gives me his scrap hat trimming felt. It's mostly Rabbit felt and it is fine stuff.
I just cut the felt wads in the press mounted wad cutter to make the wiper felt and then I use a case cut off above the base of the caliber wad and punch the hole with the depriming die. That punches the hole in the center.

I tried the wipers with a bore brush and the way I make the all felt you see in the photo's and I like the all felt better. I do have to push a dry patch after the damp felt but it works just fine.
I don't use them to often. Just a wet and dry patch does fine for me.
