Cleaning my new semi auto shot gun????

[D.L.M.]

Hey i have a Q about cleaning a shotgun for anyone whos knows some stuff about it.
i have a new semi auto trap gun and am not sure if im cleaning the barrel right.

am i supposed to run the brush through a [censored] of times with solvent on it, and then run dry patches throught till they come out clean

or am i supposed to use the brush, then some patches
then the brush again, then some more patches etc...

i ususally use the lattler method and it takes forever to get the patches to come out clean. but that may be that stickin the brush back into the barrel gets it dirty again.

whats the deal here?????/
thanks

I mostly lurk (obviously, look at the post count) but this is something I know about.

Get yourself a Hoppe's BoreSnake. Here's the description from Cabela's:

The Bore Snake is definitely the world's fastest bore cleaner. Crafted with a series of built-in brushes, it combines all the cleaning processes into one simple step, effectively cleaning your bore in a single pass. First, an initial floss area brushes the action then removes loose grit and debris in the bore prior to the main scrubbing. Finally, the main floss, with 160 times more floss than a standard cleaning patch, super-scrubs the bore to a mirror-like finish. Brass-weighted drop-through cord slips easily down the barrel, simply grasp and pull cord through the barrel - one pull through does it all. Lightweight and compact, it's easy to take to even the most remote hunting destination. There's no exposed metal to damage the rifling or crown, and no assembly is required. And it is solvent safe, washable and reusable hundreds of times. Available for rifles, shotguns and pistols.

Put some Hoppe's #9 solvent on the front of the snake to break up the powder residue, oil/lube on the tail end. Pull it through a couple of times and you're good to go. I break down my semi-auto after each hunt and this couldn't be easier.

At least his other post is NOT in the "have you ever murdered someone trip-report".

soon to be asked, "can i bring my new semi auto shot gun to a home game?"

p.s. i hope it is a 12 guage

p.p.s. pump shotguns are cooler

ppps. old guys with over-unders are way better than me

Nah, get it out of OOT. That's home game material!

Kind of asked/answered:
