[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 949116, member: 2736"] I have not done some of the test like others have and can't argue with the results but I do believe that if you follow the instructions for the product you have it will give you better results. Some products are very mild and some are very, very harsh and can not be left in the bore for very long without damaging the bore. I have and use at least 4 different kinds of solvent for different reasons and needs. I use the strongest when I am working on a barrel that Is badly fouled and I have the time to stay at it until it is clean. after it is clean I use a mild solvent to make sure that I don't leave any of the strong solvent left in the bore and then use a light oil for storage. When I have more time or am breaking the barrel in and/or the bore is nor to bad I like to use something like the Butches bore shine Followed by some light oil for storage. If I don't have the time at the end of a shooting session to clean the barrel quickly I use some Bore Tec Eliminator because I can leave it over night without harming the barrel. (NOTE: It is only one of several solvents that can be left in the bore for storage). So In My Opinion there are several choices of solvents that will perform well as long as they are used as directed. If you don't have a strict regiment of cleaning the same every time it may be necessary to use several different solvents to get the best results. There are some solvents that I don't use because of there lack of performance when used as directed and the mess they make. For long term storage, after the barrel is clean and all bore solvent is removed, I use light oil or a rust preventive on stainless or chrome moly. When a barrel is brought back into service I dry patch, clean with a mild solvent and lightly oil for the first shot. This just my opinion and the way I use different solvents based on need and time.
