Cleaning mt TX200...

[drpietrzak]

So rookie here. I have been cleaning my TX200 using a snake type thing pulling wet or dry patches. Last night I thought I would give it a thorough cleaning and ran a bronze brush.

Do I now need to season the barrel again?

Probably. How long it takes depends on the gun though. Most of mine are back on target after 20 shots or so but I've had some take significantly longer. Long story short, just go have some fun with it and see what happens.

Try to use the brush only when needing a deep cleaning. Personally I only use nylon brushes WHEN I need a brush (rarely, if ever). Our barrels prefer a certain amount of leading to shoot most accurately. That's MY experience anyway.

Yes. I didn't really let that sink in so I had a jump for the worse after cleaning. So I need to shoot it a bit to get back to good I guess!

I would just shoot it and see how she groups. Sometimes with my rimfire I’ll get my groups to open up a little after cleaning, but after a box or so it settles back in and groups tighten back up.
