[QUOTE="Carbine Kid, post: 2001657, member: 59686"] Thanks for this great post and the time you spent that benefits all of us. I have been using Mercury (as in boats) Combustion Chamber Cleaner for years now and it works as you said - removing in layers but this CCC doesn't dry. I apply 15 drops into the muzzle and let it run down onto a bristle brush just in front of the chamber and then scrub with about 20 strokes. Leave for 15 min and patch out. Two applications will remove 200rounds worth of Varget carbon in a 6x284 and 3 to 4 doses for Rl22. This is really dirty. Yes I do use a bore guide As I carbon clean after every shoot no carbon ring develops. The good thing is it has little to no effect on copper thus maintaining "condition". When copper needs to be thinned out a bit I use Pro-Shot copper solvent IV. Using same procedure as for carbon. Bore scope inspection confirms this will remove all traces of Cu. Over my 56yr of c/f shooting I have tried almost every new product as it came on the market, most good some appaling. I'm not saying this is the best but it works for me. [/QUOTE]
