Cleanest Factory 115grain 9mm Ammo

[Wilhelm]

A normal cleaning procedure for a pistol barrel (assuming that you aren't using corrosive ammo) is:

1. 1 patch soaked in Hoppes #9 once in and out.

2. Follow immediately with a soaked bristle brush in and out about 5 times.

3. Let sit for about three to five minutes.

4. Soaked patch in and out one time.

5. A second soaked patch in and out one time if necessary.

6. Third soaked patch in and out one time if necessary.....very, very rare.

7. One clean dry patch in and out two to three times.

8. Spray a little CLP down the barrel if you must. I never have in all my years of shooting and my bores all look just fine but some guys feel the need to do it.

9. You're done.

If you go back the next day and clean it again, you WILL get more funk out but it is neither needed nor recommended to do so. This constitutes over cleaning and is bad.
