Recently I was in a discussion with some fellow benchrest shooting frineds and we were discussing accuracy issues and the subject revolved around keeping the chamber free of a carbon ring. Is there some insight that can be shed on this issue? I have heard about carbon ring in centerfire, but it has never crossed my mind with the .22 rimfire stuff.
In the discussion I was told to first clean by running how ever many required patches to get bore clean. then clean gently the chamber with a twisting action and/or stroke with a bronze brush. Resulting in more junk on the patch.
I had to check and see if I had any.....
Three patches and the fourth was white as snow. gently did the brush thing and ran an oiled patch....white as snow.
I didn't feel good using the twist action though I did twist about one full twist and I didn't want to reverse the bronze brush in the chamber so I used a nylon....ran a patch and still nothing. I guess I didn't have a carbon ring???
Is there something to all this? Or is this overkill and taking a chance of damage to the chamber and bore by overdoing it?
Thanks,
