Frequently Asked Questions

How do you clean a rifle bore using Wipeout products?

To clean a rifle bore with Wipeout, first use a bore guide. Apply Wipeout Accelerator to a patch and run it through the bore. Then, apply Wipeout foam directly into the bore until it slightly emerges from the muzzle. Let it dwell for 2-3 hours, then patch out the residue with dry patches until clean. Finally, lightly oil the bore.

What is the dwell time for Wipeout bore cleaner?

The recommended dwell time for Wipeout bore cleaner is typically 2 to 3 hours. For best results, especially with stubborn fouling, it can be left in the bore overnight. After the dwell time, the cleaner is simply patched out.

What rifle was used for the 608-yard Lechwe shot in South Africa?

The hunt featured a Gunwerks rifle, specifically a V2 model equipped with P1 profiles. This rifle was chambered in the powerful 300 Remington Ultra Magnum caliber, suitable for long-range engagements.

What is the benefit of using a bore guide during rifle cleaning?

Using a bore guide during rifle cleaning is crucial for protecting the firearm's action. It prevents solvents and cleaning agents from entering sensitive areas like the trigger mechanism and magazine well, ensuring they only clean the bore.
