[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 354421, member: 11717"] I've used Hoppe's, Butche's, Montana Xtreme 50 BMG, Montana Xtreme Copper Cream, Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber, Gunslick Foaming Bore Cleaner, Gunslick Copper Klenz, Bore Tech Eliminator, and Wipeout. Hoppe's, Gunslick Copper Klenz and Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber are next to worthless. Next comes Butches Bore shine (medium strength amonia). Next comes Montnana Xtreme Copper Cream (mediun amonia abrasive) and then Montana Xtreme 50 BMG (strong amonia). After cleaning with Montana Xtreme 50 BMG and letting it soak for about 30 min and getting a "clean" patch, I applied some Bore Tech Eliminator and let it sit for about 20 min and got a blue patch. BTE is a very good copper remover but if you have stuborn copper, which most do, it takes several long soakings to get it all out with BTE. For relatively quick removal of copper it's the best I've used. For the easiest removal of copper, Wipeout and Gunslick Foaming Bore Cleaner are the best, but need long soakings of about 8 hours followed by 1 or 2 dry patches. Next on my list to try is KG-1 and KG-12 which are reported to be better than BTE. We' will see. Back to the OP, what I posted was cleaning down to bare metal. That may not always be necessary or desirable. If you clean down to bare metal you will almost always need some fouling shots. If you leave some copper and carbon you may not need fouling shots or as many. [/QUOTE]
