I have this thing about never dry-patching a dirty bore. On more than one occasion and especially shooting sidehammer MLs, the burnt crusty fouling sometimes falls below the dry patch being run down the bore, blocking necessary spark channels like nipples and breechplug flash-holes.
If I send a dry patch down my bore, that barrel will be clean.

just be sure not to use too much slip 2000 on your patch, be sure to dry patch after you coat your bore with slip 2000, before loading for the next shot.
When you clean your gun at home wait 10 min before dry patching the bore. That allows slip 2000 to get into the pours of the metal. Next time you clean your gun it will be easier.

I guess it sounds ok, though I have never used alcohol just hoppe's elite gun cleaner. Make sure you don't get too much slip 2000 in your bore, if you think you do store it barrel down so lubricant will run out of barrel and not into your breech plug. Using slip 2000 is like seasoning a frying pan, the more you use it the better it will be. Also it only takes a little bit!

Take my work for it, you won't be sorry. Before long you'll be cleaning all your guns with that set up. If you have any questions about using slip 2000 call them or send an e-mail, they are good to deal with.
