Barrel fouling

Hey Mike, where did you find the Kleen-bore primers? I can't seem to be able to locate any here.

I picked them up at Wal-Mart, of all places...on sale after season.

Their worthy looking for Jim...I just came in from shooting x24 Keith Nose with T7....the KleanBores work terrific, no blow by and the spent primers came out easily. I pulled the breech plug after 12 shots and the vent was not obstructed, very little crud on the plug threads. I like them, very easy clean up !!!

I pulled the breech plug after 12 shots and the vent was not obstructed, very little crud on the plug threads. I like them, very easy clean up !!!

Thanks Mike, finally found some at William's arms in Port Perry. Hope they are as clean as you say.
Good luck everyone next week. Sorry for your problems Pete. Sometimes, the golden years just suck!! Cheers, Jim

HA- With BH209 there is not enough crud to build a ring. The barrel looks just as dirty with 3 shots as it does with 15. It is not as corrosive as anything else that I've used. This is why I don't shoot or hunt with a clean barrel anymore. Went to the range the day before our hunt and fired 2 shots. Shot a deer 1st day, another the 3rd day and finished with a 3rd deer on the 4th day and a 100 yard coyote a few minutes later. Cleaned with Ed's red after the hunt. With T7, I could not get a second sabot down and had to clean after shooting. When I was using T7 and Pyrodex, I sighted in for a clean barrel. Switched to BH209 and changed my thinking to sighting in for my 2cd + shots, the same as for my 308 and 30/30.

After about 10 shots I usually use my eezy-breech to clean the flash channel and flash hole. I don't remove the plug for this. My Kodiak would get hang fires if I did not do this. I was also using Winchester primers before I learned not to.
