[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 310500, member: 11717"] I'm not familiar with Hoppe's 9 BR, but the regular Hoppe's 9 powder solvent has ammonia so I'm guessing the BR does too, and like I said I wont use ammonia anymore. Wipeout is a spray in foam cleaner that has no ammonia. You need to let it soak for a while. Sometimes up to 8 hrs or overnight. I had a very bad fouling Ruger M77 (still have it but dont shoot it) that I cleaned with Wipeout. It took about 7 long soakings before the patch came out clean. But when the patch finally came out clean, that bore was clean down to bright shiney bare metal, corrosion pitting and all. I know this becuase I had it borescoped and the smith said it was clean down to bare metal. He let me take a look at it. So as far as I'm concerned, Wipeout is the ultimate test for a clean barrel. if you think your barrel is clean, give it an overnight soaking with Wipeout, then run a patch through it. If the patch is white then the bore is clean. If not, then your cleaning method isn't as good as you think it is. Always use nickel plated jags so there will be no question of contamination from brass jags. Wipeout takes some time but it is wayyyy easy. Spray it in, let it soak, patch it out with about 2 patches. No scrubbing for hours. I've heard that JB paste is good but it's abrasive and you need to be careful with it. IMO, Wipeout and Bore Tech Eliminator are superior products. There are a lot of different opinions, but you will see some trends with certain cleaners. My criteria is... no ammonia and gets the job done. At the range, BTE works very fast and very well. At home, Wipeout is very easy and very effective. It's cleans to bare metal with no scrubbing and that has been proven to me. Here are some related threads...
