al4x Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 yep don't clean after every trip out mine takes about 10 shots before it shoots accurately again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 With my HMR I did the whole centrefire routine and copper solvented it after every shot at first. I tried that a couple of times but the patch was just coming out grey/black (powder residue). There was no sign of disolved copper (blue) so I didn't bother after that. Now I just boresnake mine and it's accurate enough. I've fired several hundred rounds down it without rodding it again, just boresnaking after 50 rounds or so. I may solvent it again soon to see if anything comes out, but I get the feeling it's not going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glynn Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi Got my 17 hmr the other week. Went for the cz 453 varmint. Has a great 2 stage adjustable trigger cost £260. Have a look at this model before going for the old 452 which was only £10 cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just shoot it, then maybe clean down the barrel a lil after a shoot but nothing excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenno Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 as i was running my 17 hmr CZ American in, was cleaning it every five to fifty, was getting black residue on patch with rod, after fifty every 20 up to a 100 and now every 50 rounds i clean it with rod and patch. tried solvent on patch, but no copper residue, so now only clean dry patch, repeating until patch comes out clean. and it shoot virtually zero at 100yds. rabbits clean kills cross hair on from 60 to 140. had about 300 rounds through it.
