[QUOTE="RogerK, post: 122022, member: 6314"] Copper Test 2 Post I did the tests requested on Montana Extreme 50 BMG, Wipe Out, and Bore Tech Eliminator. I also ran a test to see if Warthog would cut lead. It doesn’t cut lead and we don’t make that claim. It simply won’t clean lead out a barrel. I’m going to look into that after the hunting season, mostly out of curiosity. I ordered Montana Extreme 50 BMG, Wipe Out, and Bore Tech Eliminator from Mid South Shooters Supply. I ran the tests the same way I tested in initial solvents, with one exception. I used bullets from the same lot, however I did not have enough 140 grain Barnes X bullets, so I used bullets that weighed 139.7 grains on my RCBS digital. I opened the bottles of Montana Extreme 50 BMG and Bore Tech Eliminator and dropped the bullets into the solvent and left them in for 24 hours. I put the Wipe-Out down a clear plastic tube in something that resembles putting it down a rifle bore. Frankly, after hearing what I hear about these cleaners, I approached testing these 3 cleaners with apprehension. It was a misplaced apprehension. The tests speak for themselves. The Results: Montana Extreme 50 BMG 139.7 Grains Before the test. 139.7 Grains After the test. 000.0 Grains lost. Wipe-Out 139.7 Grains Before the test. 139.6 Grains After the test. 000.1 Grain Lost. Biggest problem with Wipe-Out: The foam melts way into a thin liquid and gravity forces that thin liquid to pool at the lowest point. The foam seems like a good idea but I have a feeling that users are only getting half a cleaning because of the pooling noted, and at the rate it cuts copper, not a very good cleaning. Bore Tech Eliminator 139.7 Grains Before the test. 139.7 Grains After the test. 000.0 Grains lost. You can go here to have a look at the details of the test. The new test results are near the bottom of the page. Scroll down the page to the new test.
