Is the 7RM as accurate as the short 7 mags?

Re: The 162's.......

From Brownells

"A micro-fine bore cleaning and finishing compound that works as both a cleaner and a final polish to help keep barrels free of fouling and shooting their absolute best. Regular use gives your barrel a mirror-like finish that helps prevent the build-up of accuracy robbing copper fouling, plus greatly reduces cleaning effort. Clean your barrel as you normally would, then after cleaning with J-B Compound, follow with J-B Bore Bright to achieve a super clean, final polish."

A mirror like finish is the last thing you want. The finer the finish the more jacket fouling will get laid down. Mild abrasives have a purpose and that's to remove carbon fouling, manage heat checking and remove the last little bit of copper fouling if it bothers you.

KYpatriot, so you went with the 7rm ?

Re: The 162's.......

Apparently I overlooked this thread back in March, I have been considering a 7mm RM and there is some amazing info here. Thanks to all especially Dave Tooley for the hard data and shared experiences.

CM start to rust as soon as they cool off. The powder fouling attracts moisture and traps it against the steel. I use a variety of cleaning products and don't want to slight any of the manufactures. I use a combination powder solvent with ammonia and I have an extreme ammonia cleaner for stubborn copper. I use either Flitz, Iosso bore paste or JB on a tight patch to work on the heat checking and carbon fouling.
How aggresive I get cleaning depends on the caliber, age of the barrel and how severe the shooting session had been.

Just this calls for a new thread.
