Dave, use a lint free cotton patch and remember just a little goes a long way.

Don't know how I missed this post--maybe i need my eyes checked.
2 questions : How do you apply the Formby's--I have a can. Do you just wipe it on and let it dry? I have a GH 16 (barrels cut to 27",sigh) and G Lefever 16 (28', F/F) damascus barrels redone this fall.
Bruce, are the Federal Game Loads OK to shoot thru the damascus guns--I have 2 cases of Federal/Estates 1 oz game loads. I had heard that they were lower pressure than other promo/game loads.

[C.O.B.]

Harold I would not shoot Federal game loads in a damascuss barreled gun. Each gun is different in the condition of the barrel's wall thickness and what might work in one gun won't work in another. If you have two cases of these shells either shoot them in a fluid steel barreled gun or sell them. I wouldn't risk shooting them, just my 2 cents. The ONLY way to tell the pressure of the Federal/Estates is to send them out for testing. I have shot both...in fluid steel guns only.
