BBASSI, Hi Eric - GB45 in Apex -

I always clean my guns after every shoot, especially my .22s because I usually shoot 100 to 200 shots an outing. However, before I go to the range I run a dry patch or 2 through the barrels to clean out any oil.

- - and don't be so surprised at how much heat/energy a .22WMR produces, that 40 grain bullet is going from 0 to around 2000 feet per second coming out the muzzle in a "FLASH".
