Hi Guys,
I’ve been working with this gun for a few months now. I’ve noticed the past few range trips that even though I cleaned it like crazy, I pull some rusty patches out before I start shooting. Also, the first shot doesn’t seem to go off.
For cleaning I use soap and hot water to clean out the bore, use some pre soaked patches until clean, I dry out the bore and then run a few rust preventative patches through it.
For shooting, I first run a few dry patches through it, fire off a #11 cap, and then load the gun with 80 gr Pryo/.535 PRB/.010 lubed patch. I usually have to pull the PRB, clean the bore and try again. Eventually it starts shooting consistently.
Any ideas?
