    Alternative Projectiles?

    I haven't tried this but here's a thought - what about either a moulded bullet made from heat gun glue or if you were really lucky you might find a heat glue gun stick about the right calibre. I guess you'd have to 'sabot' it somewhat in case you gummed up the barrel! Do you know the sticks I...

    Laser lighting a bore

    Just a tip. If you want to see to the end of a clean barrel - try a laser light. It's a bit fiddly but it can be done and it at least shows the rifling etc and if all the clinker is gone from the end of the barrel.
