Bore pigs,gophers, critters. Paper Patch

Post by robert1 »

Are these useful with paper patch? Planning on making some, but will they will get the bore clean enough?

I shoot bore diameter PP and my pigs work great. Yesterdays silhouette match was really hot and I checked my bore occasionaly after wiping and it stayed clean as a whistle. Managed a 31/40 with only 3 chickens. Finished each relay with lots of time to spare thanks to the bore pigs. One wipe and done.

The bore gophers that Brent came up with work very well for me. So far that’s been my favorite way with a dry patch behind the gopher. Missed a ram and a turkey Saturday but only had 2 chickens. :(

Stab a 2.5 or 3 inch patch on the front of a nylon brush depending on caliber, stab a 2 inch arsenal patch on the rear and push it thru with a Delrin rod and let it fall out the end of the barrel, good to go.
