[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 488344, member: 11717"] Everyone does it different and my philosophy is to clean then shoot until accuracy falls off and clean again... and like Rich says, barrels behave differently. I to am a fan of Bore Tech Eliminator and Wipeout. A lot of guys think they have a clean bore when they no longer see blue on their patches when in fact there is still copper in the barrel. I have experienced this a number of times with products like Butches Bore Shine, Montana Xtreme 50 BMG, KG12 and others that are supposed to be powerful copper removers. The way to test this is to soak your bore with BTE or Wipeout after you think it's clean form using another product, then patch it out and see what you get. Wipeout and BTE have always got more copper out for me. I have verified Wipeout's effectiveness by having two of my barrels borescoped by a local smith who said the bore's were completely free of copper with slight traces of carbon which he said he rarely sees. When using BTE, it's best to use a non-brass jag because BTE will immediately start eating the brass and leave a false blue indication on the patch. I use nickel plated jags. Bore Tech has also come up with CU+2 copper remover and C4 carbon remover for more specialized cleaning. And the Bore Tech Products have an oxidation inhibitor in them. -Mark [/QUOTE]
