JB bore paste.

[Occams Rasor]

Anyone use JB bore paste? If so what were the results?
Is this a good idea or snake oil? Did a forum search not much
info on it.

I don't use it after hearing it will lap your barrel.
Prefer Holland's Witches Brew, a patch around a brush

Chris Dichter, Owner, Pac-Nor Barreling
"My preference is cleaning every 20-30 rounds. We settled on the Witches' Brew from Dave Holland, which is 1200 micron-inch aluminum oxide in Kroil. It removes anything that isn't gun-barrel steel. It gets carbon and copper out very effectively. Be careful with JB and abrasives--A JB'd patch around a bristle brush can become a lap more than a cleaning agent."

It's mildly abrasive. It will give you a nice polish on your barrel. There are appropriate uses for it (receiving an iffy barrel, making it look good before you sell it) but I wouldn't make a habit of it.

J-B Bore Paste and Bore Bright are well respected compounds amoung the shooters in the competive shooting and bench rest shooting sports. It is used to get the hard to get copper and powder fouling out of the bore. It is a very mild abrasive and the use of it will prevent copper and powder fouling accumulating in the bore by polishing the bore.

No offence to anyone here, I shoot a custom built Falcon benchrest 22lr.
no one with a really great rifle would shoot jacketed bullets in bench rest competition. Mine is set up for Eley ESP and it's lead and wax. As for cleaning, threw the breach only, a nylon bristle brush for the first 3-4 inches of the chamber, then just a solvent patch threw. Look up Killough in texas you'll see how the masters at benchrest clean their 22's And even if you are going to sell the rifle at least be honest with what you have. Hope I didn't step on anyone toes.

I don't see a need for it on a .22.
It is abrasive and if over used, it can do damage. Any over cleaning or improper cleaning can damage a firearm too.
Some good info from target shooters HERE
