Cleaning at the range

[Billnpatti]

Since I started using Ballistol as my patch lubricant, I have not needed to swab between shots. But at the end of a shooting session before I head home, I swab the bore with a 1:10 mixture of Ballistol in water. It does a dandy job of getting the bore clean but I still do a thorough cleaning with soap and water when I get home. I use the Ballistol in water mixture at the range because, even when I run a dry patch through the bore after the Ballistol mixture, the the mixture seems to leave a light protective coating of Ballistol in the bore to protect from rust until I can get home and do a proper soap and water cleaning and run some Barricade through the bore for final protection before putting it in my humidity controlled gun safe. It's what works for me. :thumbsup:

Bill,
Just curious do you dilute the ballistol when using as patch lube,or use straight?
