Hi, managed to get my FAC recently, bought a CZ Varmint 17hmr and run a few patches through after each shoot. I’ve put 300 rounds through and now thinking a full clean with brass bristle brush would be a good idea. Two questions: (a) I’ve heard people say only clean when accuracy drops and (b) if you carry out a full clean do you run the brass brush up and down through the barrel continuously or do you have to take it off the rod each time you push it through? FYI I bought a bore guide (which haven’t used yet). Any advice appreciated thanks ..read more

I was thinking of changing my 308 for a 243 or possibly a 25-06 but a mate suggested once lead is banned, getting deer-legal weight bullets for a 308 would be a lot easier than finding 243 offerings in 100gr plus. I haven't even looked at the lead free alternatives yet. Any thoughts?   ..read more
