I have mentioned this to Morris Baker many times over the years; whatever powder they are using in their 'Lite', Falcon Lite', etc. it burns filthy dirty. I always douche my barrels with excess (dripping) patches of Hoppe's #9 and let them hang muzzle down for a few hours or overnite, then swab them with clean patches I cut from old T-shirts over a wire brush. Because of the residue in the bristles of the brush, they never come out completely clean, but the bores wind up like mirrors after 2 or 3 passes.

To each his own ! Typically I run a wooly booger Rod thru a couple passes each barrel and they’re shiney . If I shoot a bunch of buckshot or slugs I might use the bronze brush with Hoppes and patches . When I shot skeet/trap all the time a couple times a year I’d get some brake cleaner/gun scrubber and scrub wash the bores until I was satisfied . Here’s a picture of the label on one of my Woolley Booger rods

Shot a round of Clays with a friend who used his O/U & factory AA shells, he said they were 1325 FPS. I used my Trojan & 2 reload recipes 3/4 - 7/8 powders 20/28 & Unique all in AA hulls. Velocity little over 1100 FPS
Sorting out empties yesterday was struck by how clean his hulls were. Not a spec of powder residue inside the hull. My Unique loads are always very dirty, 20/28 less but still dirty. Seems to me some powders burn clean others dirty , real difference in how clean a load burns is pressure. Higher the pressure more complete combustion . And we always look for low pressure loads No doubt holding pressures down contributes to dirty bores. Easiest way to clean is spray some solvent, I use Balistol, and let it sit overnight , next day one pass with a cut down blue shop towel wipes most out, 2nd clean patch bright and shiny. My opinion, worth what it cost. William |

Like Kevin, I too give my bores a good sloshing of solvent and let them sit overnight muzzles down. In fact I do this with rifle and pistol. After they are cleaned and put up I go back in about three days and clean them again just to make sure all is well.
