[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 158072, member: 12"] Well if I am wrong so is Hoppes itself. Try calling Bushnell who owns Hoppes and ask for the Hoppes tech. They will have to go back and ask the real techs, but they will shortly come back and tell you that #9 is not designed for copper and do not expect it to remove it. They say that is why they came out with the BR copper solvent. In fact their BR copper solvent label, advertising and technicians all say "that firearms can be cleaned overnight instead of the 3 to 4 days it normally takes". Now if the Hoppes standard for copper removal with their copper solvent is overnight instead of 3-4 days, doubt #9 cuts the mustard as a reliable or efficiant copper remover regardless of how many green patches you have. Another thing we found is that solvents will react with the bronze jag and give you a false color on the patch. You might be cleaning the hell out of your jag. So green patches could be that reaction or minor reaction with some copper in the barrel. But colored patches is not an indicator of a clean or not clean barrel. Now #9 is good for the carbon ring in the barrel for sure. Unless you have a borescope you really do not know what works and what does not. BH [/QUOTE]
