Had time to do some shooting this afternoon, so I decided to clean my barrel of my HM 1000X and then apply a Kytech wax coating to the inside of the barrel. The consistency was just incredible...think this is one of my better targets...Thinking I'm beginning to like Krytech.

Looks good Mike. On the Krytech.....how do you do it?
After you clean the barrel, you just wet a patch with the Krytech and pull it through with the JL Crown saver?
Or is it more complicated? I've heard of folks putting the Krytech on their pellets, but this is the first I've heard of waxing the barrel?
Help a brotha out.....brotha ;-)

Exactly how you said Jimmy! I have never heard of anyone doing this either....but thought..."What the Hell"
First I cleaned the barrel with a couple of patches soaked in OTIS Ultra-Bore cleaner(just what I have in stock). I ran the patches through until they came out clean or with little residue.
Then I ran a couple of dry patches through the barrel to dry up any cleaner which may have remained.
Then I douse a patch with the Krytech and pull it though. I do this several time until you hear it being "Squeekey" clean.
then I ran a couple of dry patches to soak up the remaing fluid which may have remained in the barrel.
I really didn't know what to expect when I did this. Like yourself, I have only heard of people treating their pellets with the Krytech wax solution. Then I though to myself, "why not". Seemed to help my rifle, but I can't say it will do the same for every rifle treated with the Krytech. Just a crazy little experiment I thought of trying

What about the breech o ring? You think the wax is OK for the o ring when the patch passes through it?
Leave it you to come up with a new way to use Krytech!!!!!LOL!

My HM10000X doesn't have a breech o-ring to worry about, but I do not think that there is anything harmful to the o-rings...Should be just like any other cleaning job

Mac1 recomends this and sells a kit with the Crown Saver and Krytech. That's the one I got. Will be trying it in my HM1000x when it comes.

Should have known I seen it together before...lol Thanks 30cal for reminding me where this idea originally came from!
BTW works pretty darn well

do you shoot all of the 100 on one single cleaning ?
or do you clean the barrel somewhere along the way ?
i clean after every 25 and need some sighters before resuming

I shot all 100 on one cleaning.
I pulled a dry patch through after the 100 ...there was less on the patches then in cleaning i have done in the past.
Did not do any sighters after cleaning...hit the mark on the first shot

Thank you Mike for recommending the Crown Saver in the first place. I'm getting down to a week or two for my HM1000x .25 then I will try my hand at this competition. Can't wait!

Sorry for the stupid question, but I really couldn't find it:
Where can I get Ed Canoles' 100 bullseye target?
