? How to get Moly out of a barrel?
TO ALL:

I am looking to go W/O Moly for my next loading for my varmint .243 Win.

Does anyone have a "Sure Fire" way to get Moly out of a barrel and be certain that it is clean W/O the use of a bore scope?

Thanks for your responses in advance.

According to the Hart rifle barrels webpage, they have not find a surefire way to do this, and thus do not reommend the use of moly-coated bullets. Just what I heard...

My suggestion would be to stay away from that stuff to begin with .

There are several ways to completely get moly out of a barrel. Boretech makes a product called Moly Magic that is very good and I use a brass brush with this and patches...You can also use a good solvent like Butch's Bore Shine with a brush and patches...More brush than patches...You can get about 90 to 95 % out this way...The one sure way to get it all out is shoot it out with non moly coated bullets..It won't hurt a thing to leave a little in barrel as you swith over to non Moly bullets and as you shoot, they will clean the rest out...

2 ways:
1. Wrap a patch around a bronze brush, coat the patch with JB Bore cleaner and give 10-20 passes. Take the jb patch off, clean the brush and wrap another patch around the brush. Soak the second patch with Kroil and give a few passes. Shine a flashlight at the muzzle end of the barrel if you see any copper or other fouling repeat. On the last jb patch substitute jb bore-brite for regular jb. Again use a flashlight shone in the muzzle a poor-man's 1 inch bore scope and keep going until spotless - usually pretty quick with this system (I read about it in a John Barsness article).
2. Use an Outers Foul-Out system.
