Hello all. Longtime reader, first time poster.
I broke a wire bore brush off in the bottom of my T/C Hawken's barrel. After trying for a couple hours to get it out with a ball puller and a patch-getter, I went to Google.
The end result was me pullin' the nipple and getting about 15 grains of FFF underneath. I screwed the nipple on, walked over to my paper target and said a prayer to Jesus. Pop! No luck. After a couple tries, I figured that I needed to build up some pressure. So, I pushed a ball patch and a cleanin' patch down to the brush, and loaded up underneath the nipple once again. I walked over to the target and took aim at the bull. BIG POP!!! That worked. The brush shot through the paper and the patched hit right under the hole and fell to the ground smoking. Has anyone else tried this & what were your results?
Thanks,
Abel
