H.A.M. just posted an article on the importance of barrel cleaning when shooting slugs....

I admit I only clean my barrel when doing other maintenance on my airgun, which is probably one of the reasons I have not yet qualified as a NUAH Master....  ::)

If you wish to post your cleaning regimen, products and techniques used, that would be great!....

EdinGa:
I powder coat my slugs and I rarely clean my barrels. I should probably rethink that, but knowing me I won't.

Knothead:
I made almost a year with my Akela and slugs.  I cleaned it last month with a dewy rod jag and felt plugs. Unused ballistol  for solvent. It took a long time and a lot of felts.  Next time I will try patches and see if a tighter fit cleans faster.

FastJ:
With pellets like never.
With current slug setup have to do 50-100.

Following, as I am trying to qualify for the NUAH club.  First group this AM was just over an inch, and opened up after that. ;D  I am really like my RTI Prophet II. 8)
