    Suppressors Suggestions for suppressor cleaning?

    Just got my Trident9 and shot it on my P226, awesomely quiet with my 3.8 gr loads of Bullseye (147 gr FMJs). The very minimal 'booklet' that came with it said to clean it with WD-40. Is that what you guys use? What cleaning process and solvents do you guys use on your suppressors? I know not...

    Just got my first .300 Win Mag, a Remington XCR Tactical. 26" barrel. I have a few questions for you experienced guys. What recipe you guys using to fireform your new brass? I shoot the Sierra MK 175's in my .308 5R so I'm gonna start with those until I can get some heavier bullets. I used my...
