Turkeygirl Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Is it ok to clean the gun barrel after patterning? I've heard both ways - don't clean and do clean. I just put some Winchester Double X through my 20 ga. with the Undertaker and think I've got the pattern pretty decent, If anything the pattern could be a tad higher but the turkeys on my target were more than dead at 30 yards. I'll post some pics later.Let me know about the cleaning, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Forgot to mention that i learned today it's way easier to pattern with a good solid rest for the gun, makes a world of difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Never bothered my zero before Ruth. Fine tuned my zero before turkey season last year. Cleaned it several times since then...still holding zero last time I checked it a few weeks ago.

whitetailfreak55 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ive heard both ways too but I always clean my gun doesn't hurt it a bit in my opinion always take the bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeard Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I run a snake thru mine after each shot, don't bother to oil or actually remove residue, just a clean barrel for the next shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I run a snake thru mine after each shot, don't bother to oil or actually remove residue, just a clean barrel for the next shot. i do the same. my barrel seems to come clean pretty easy, but after several shots i do usually clean my choke tubes really good. they get more build up.
