Cleaned my 6 Creed after I tested some loads today, 23 shots total, ran 3 patches of Hoppes #9 thru it and let it sit while I did some reloading, after about 40 mins I ran a clean patch down the tube and didnt really see any blue on the patch, all I really got was carbon color on the 2nd wet patch of Hoppes, pretty happy so far, shouldnt have to clean it as often as my buddy cleans his BR rig. On top of that the rifle shot under .5moa out to 200yds in not so calm conditions.
