[QUOTE="Doug Herold, post: 1536748, member: 102658"] Thanx, J E, I was hoping to get your opinion on this. I have a follow up question for you and everyone else: I few years ago I cleaned my rifles meticulously after shooting. One day I had dinner with a SEAL who is a Team Leader for a group you would recognize. At that time he had spent 17 deployments in the sand. I asked him, “what do you do to your gun after deployment when you get home?” He told me he takes everything apart in his rifles and gives them a thorough cleaning — except the barrel. A long as it’s shooting accurately, he leaves it alone. I stopped cleaning my gun. Only when I begin to loose accuracy or velocity do I touch the inside of my bore. This brings me to my question. I have used all kind of products on the market to address copper fouling. Currently, I am using the KG 12 for copper and KG 1 for carbon. I am not showing telltale blue on the patch, however. I first do the KG1, then follow with the 12. I wonder if I am getting out the copper?!! I don’t have a “scope” and can’t see down the bore due to the “breaks”. I used to use the J-B Bore Cleaning Compound and Bore Bright, but I read that it could damage the barrel. I have a Wilson barrel (Cooper), a Proof barrel (Gap ), and a Rem 7mag Sendero. I certainly don’t want to damage the new Wilson barrel or the Proof. What is your opinion on using these or other products??? (Also I use and really like Butch’s Bore Shine) Thanks for the feedback [/QUOTE]
