I've not used one of these yet but plan on getting one for use @ the range(between shots). How do you clean these things? as it seems they would mighty dirty.

They really don't get that dirty.  I just get the wad residue off between pulls.

Just put the weighted string through the breech, pull through, and VIOLA!, you are done.  I usually make 3-4 passes between shots.   Really gives consistent results

I agree with sugarray, they don't get that dirty. After I have used it allot, I put it in a small bucket with Tide detergent and then rinse it off and hang it up to dry.  The Bore Snake is a great tool for cleaning.

just soak it in the sink with some dish washing soap for an hour or so and it will be just like new
