I have been shooting tripple seven in my pistol and rifle and its dead easy to clean the barrel but I get a really tough varnish build up around the nipple. any tricks to clean that off?
Thanks

Get a dental pick. I use Pyrodex P and get a harder black fouling in the nipple recesses, which is what that varnish sounds like. I don't scrape at it. Rather, I press the tip of it into the edge of it, and it cracks loose.
