So this is 4 patches and 10 passes. Accuracy was fine but it’s so dirty. Do I go until completely clean?

N/A How much to clean barrel?
- Thread starter CanMike
- Start date
When and if I get around to cleaning a barrel I go until the patches are a light gray color. I don‘t want all the fouling out of the barrel. You can scrub until you get the white patch and it wont shoot a dang bit better than it did with the gray patch. Otherwise the OCD among us would be cleaning every 50 shots.
Maybe some do

Yeah, just keep going until the patches come out...clean ! Then...run another patch... one more time.
Reminds me of a Smith and Wesson Mod 59 (9mm), that I bought, MANY years ago. I bought it from a city cop.
I took it apart to give it a good cleaning. The barrel was SO...full of lead, that you could NOT see see the rifling in the barrel. None of it. It took a LOT of scrubbing to get that thing clean, and I never was SURE...that I got ALL of the lead out of there.
