There is nothing at all complicated about using the mixture I suggested, and that I use. I am anal about my rifles bore cleanliness, I admit, but over the years I have gone through the whole menu of cleaning methods, from your plain water method to what I now use. And, I prefer the mixture. I've used other methods and ended up with a red bore a few days later. No more.

The way you worded your post was disparaging of other's methods besides your own. That's why I suggested you thought it was "gospel". Again, nobody is saying water won't clean a BP bore. It will. I, and hordes of others, just think there are advantages to other methods.
