[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 313911, member: 11717"] I wish I did have a borescope and plan on getting one someday. But I have used Wipeout without brushes to clean a VERY bad fouling factory barrel Ruger. When the patches finally came out white, I took it to a smith to get it bore scoped. The bore was completely cleaned down to bare shiney metal. Not a trace of copper or powder. BTE is also very effective. I haven't borescoped after cleaning yet, but if a BTE soaked bore dry patches out white after sitting a few of minutes, you can be sure there is no copper. I did a little test with it (BTE) once. I took a wet patch and placed it on a brass jag. Then I took my thumb and fingers and squeezed down over the patch and jag. The patch immediately turned blue. If there is copper in the bore, the BTE will act on it immediately. [/QUOTE]
