[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 1944742, member: 87188"] Wolf76, I think we are on the same page. I’m just weary of people stating as fact that Hoppes does not work. I know the Benchrest does work very gently and will not harm the bore. I’ve applied the method I described and witnessed the results down the tube and to the target. I do use Sweet’s 7.62 for routine cleaning because it is exponentially faster than Hoppes. Except those formulated for overnight soak, in my opinion the latest and greatest bore cleaners are far too harsh to clean a bore that is likely badly fouled after years / decades of use as evidenced by deterioration of shot grouping. I apologize if my text-tone was less than amiable due to my weariness with the “Hoppes doesn’t work” proclamation that is so commonly parroted on shooting forums. Like any tool, it has its limited application. Best wishes to all those endeavouring to clean their dirty bore. 👍 [/QUOTE]
