[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 103344, member: 313"] [b]Re: Can\'t get the copper fouling out[/b] For barrels that really hold onto fouling I have discovered that no single cleaning method works as well as alternating between at least 2 different methods. I'd suggest using Barnes CR-10 or a similar aggressive copper remover (always follow directions on the bottle) and then use a mechanical cleaner like USP bore paste. After the bore paste is removed put the CR-10 back in for 10 minutes to detect if copper is still present. If you want to go the easy route. Try using Wipe-Out bore foam. Using the Wipe-Out "Accelerator" first will really hasten the removal of stubborn copper. One thing that I have noticed with bore foams is that the foam settles onto the bottom half of the bore and does not clean stubborn copper off the top half as well as the bottom half unless the stuff is applied twice, once with the rifle left in the scope down position.
