There seems to be lots of gun folks here so I thought I would tap that resource tonight. I am just picking up shooting as a hobby..... Again. I used to shoot quite a bit as a junior and I was pretty good at it. I have always deer hunted but I got away from all other shooting. Last year I bought my oldest son a BB gun for his birthday and then got a membership at the gun club so we could shot it together. Since then, I have been shooting my muzzle loader, 30/30, 12ga, and 357. I always go home and immediately clean the guns the best I can. Today I came home from deer hunting and started cleaning my 30/30 and my muzzle loader. I didn't even shoot my 30/30 but I noticed specks of dirt in the barrel that I can't get out. I have sent numerous patches down with Hoppes No. 9, a Hoppes Copper solvent, and many times down with a wire brush and I still can't get it clean. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get those specks out? And do I even need to worry about it or am I just being to anal?
