Hi, I haven't done too much shotgun shooting until recently since I just got a Mossberg 590A1 for fun/home security. Anyway, up until now I left all the cleaning of our other shotguns up to my brother, but looking in the barrels of his shotgun, I'm wondering if he did such a good job...
When cleaning my 590, I need to double or triple up the patches to get a good fit like in my rifles, and actually push dirt out of the barrel. I can't seem to get it all clean though, the bore is not universally shiny like it is on my rifles when I'm done. Am I being excessively anal or is there something I am missing to get the barrel cleaner? The 12 guage cleaning kit feels like a single patch is just breezing through without picking up any of the gunk...
Any advice on what to do or any great cleaning items, or am I just caring too much? Thanks in advance.
