[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1944822, member: 26077"] I have used Hoppes for 50 years and still use it regularly. It does not remove Copper. It does remove carbon, plastic shotgun wad and left over powder quite well. It also leaves a very good coating on the surface that in our dry climate has kept all my guns rust free, and is a good cold weather lubricant on the bolt because it doesn't thicken in the cold. The best copper remover I have ever found, that is also bore safe and can be left to soak, is Wipeout Patchout edition. For carbon rings in 22RF to the big magnums, about the only ting that will cut that is Butch's Bore Shine or automotive carbon cleaner and JB Bore paste for the actual ring. I am sure there are other products that work well but these are the things I settled on after much trial and error. [/QUOTE]
