I Cleaned My New Barrel!! Will I Learn This Time?
So after this last match I got over 200 rounds on this new barrel. I actually cleaned it! I learned after the first one that I should probably do this a little more often, lol. I am going to try!! Will I learn this lesson on my second barrel? Time will tell us all! I also figured out a few quicker processes and I wanted to show off some of those compared to my first cleaning video attempt!
I now use patches for a few passes to get the carbon and copper loosened and pushed out. Then I switch to Thorroclean paste and apply to a brush and run it about 30 times through to coat inside and start breaking up the carbon with more force.
I let that sit for a while and then do another 30 to 50 runs with the brush. That seemed to get this pretty sparkly!
Then I wanted to check my ammo I used at the match, and after this range trip I am going back to my original load. This did not end up speeding up through the last count up to 200 like I thought it may, so I am going back to the old charge with a little more powder. Tested a few and seemed to group well!
I also want to try and learn to get more square in line with the rifle. I have been slacking on learning this. I tend to have the stock further out on my shoulder and lean my head to the cheek riser. I am going to attempt to learn to lay more in line so the stock hits my collarbone closer to the center of my chest and I can have my head more in line with the scope. This should help a few things if I can get the technique down properly. I will work on this at the match this weekend! Not good to practice something new in a match, but I am going to try, lol. Wish me luck!!
I think seeing this I am confident to go back to my old charge, dropping 2 tenths of a grain did not work as well as I hoped. Then learning a few new ways to stay in line with the rifle should also help hone my skills as I continue to progress. I just want to not finish totally last at the regional finale in a few weeks! Got about 3 weekends to practice, I am going to do all I have time to do!!
