How to clean up after shooting Triple Seven through an 1897?

[Begle1]

I'm going to be shooting some Triple Seven (aka Triple Se7en aka 777 aka Triple 7) through my Winchester 1897 shortly.

It's a takedown model.

How do I clean up afterwards? I understand I'm to pour water or "moose milk" down the barrel and then clean and oil it like normal... But how much water are we talking? And do I need to water down anything other than the barrel, like the bolt face?

[Major 2]

Straight soap and hot water like BP then Mouse Milk @ 10 parts water to one Ballistol. Rince and repeat.
Wipe it down with non-diluted Ballistol.

Truth is I only used Triple 7 once.
 I did not care for it

Triple 7 is all I can get unfortunately.

How much water? Like a pint? Pour a half-liter water bottle through it?

Barrel only or does the bolt face or anything else also need the wash down?

Go to a real hardware store (Not Home depot or Lowes) and buy a rubber cork. #3 for 12 ga, #2 for 16 ga, or #1 for 20 ga.

With the barrel removed insert the cork into the muzzle end, stand the barrel upright and then fill with your chosen liquid. Allow to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Then pour the liquid out and then push out the fouling out with a patched jag or with a patch wrapped around a bore brush.

As long as you use a load that generates enough pressure to make the hull seal against the chamber fouling in the action will be minimal.

10 to one = Moose milk so,
 
I make it by the Gallon, equal to 128 U.S. fluid ounces
 use 13 oz of Ballistol (comes in 16 Fl. Oz. cans)

It's enough for many cleanings

I don't "pour water down the barrel", but rather use patches that are soaked in soapy water. Turn weapon upside down so the sludge falls out the receiver rather than into it. Repeat till patches are clean, couple more to dry, then oil.

Lemmie assist.  NONE OF THE ABOVE!!  Visit your local Lowes and source some of their heavy duty Blue paper towels (Paint dept.).  You will also want some Hydrogen Peroxide, Denatured Alcohol and Murphy Oil Soap.  Mix the Hydrogen/Alcohol/Murphy in equal parts.  Stir a little and you have made PAM!!  Wonderful stuff.  Getcha a small spritz bottle while you're at it.  Cut your Knew-Two-Ewe Blue paper towel into four squares.  I suggest about two or three towels.

Take the '97 down.  Spray inside the barrel with good ly amount of PAM.  Wrap a 12Ga bore brush with a quarter sheet of Blue, Sprits the Blue liberally.  Run the Blue up and down the bore about 6 passes.  Peek thru the bore,  Look good??  Re-Wrap the the brush with a DRY Blue.  Dry the bore.  Now run a nice fabric Oily Patch thru the bore.  Yer DONE.  Put 'er back together.  Keep yer PAM out of direct sunlight.  Bad for the Hydrogen.

Next time will go much much faster 'cause you already have yer PMA and Blues.  Yer PAM in the spritz bottle is also great for keeping Cap Guns running during a match.
