[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1944702, member: 75779"] Just to be clear, I grew up using good old #9. The smell is kind of like cologne to me. It has worked fine for shotguns. When I got into rifles, reloading, and long range hunting - things changed. Forums like this one, Rok, Hide and others provide some great knowledge. One thing you'll quickly learn is there are ways of validating or invalidating info posted. Your post is an example of this. With a borescope I can see what is left behind after using #9. It doesn't matter how long you leave it in the barrel, the stuff won't touch copper and is only an average carbon remover. Forget about this stuff even working on a carbon ring. Let me add, there isn't a single solvent that is best - some just get much better results. Wipeout, Boretech Eliminator, CR10, KG12 are the most effective solvents I've used based on borescope observations. If a barrel is in really bad shape - jb bore paste, iosso bore cleaner, or Remington 40 X is your friend. BTW - I couldn't care less how long the solvents take to work. Only interested in results. Feel free to PM me, so we don't derail the OPs thread. [/QUOTE]
