[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 74473, member: 2852"] I am very chilled Jason. And I know what you meant. You believe that it is such a HUGE pain to wrap patches around a brush when in fact, it takes all of 5 agonizing seconds to do so. And that is if you have 10 thumbs like me! I KNOW you spend more time measuring bearing surfaces on bullets than it would take you to wrap a patch. And I also know that you spent WAY more dough on primers this year than 30 bucks for the cost of Coppermelt. You also make a huge deal out of contamination when in reality it takes no more care to keep Coppermelt sterile than keeping floaties out of your Coke, and I'm sure we are all good at that. [ QUOTE ] If someone sends me some to try i will, but i wont be spending 30$ on a bottle. [/ QUOTE ] You're loss dude. THere is no free lunch in this sport I'm afraid. If you want to upgrage your shooting experience, only you can do that. DId you scoff at the idea of paying your IBS dues this year? It is probably double the cost of a bottle of Coppermelt and it probably won't last as long. [ QUOTE ] bore tech eliminator does just fine, [/ QUOTE ] It might for now, but just wait until you're throat gets a little more worn and the copper likes to stick to it more. I have used Bore Tech once on a rough barrel and Coppermelt cleaned it out at least twice-no make that 3 times faster. [ QUOTE ] since enzymes are proteins, and proteins dont respond well to heat...What happens if you leave the bottle in the sun while shooting PD's? [/ QUOTE ] Well, I have never gone out and intentionally roasted a bottle of Coppermelt to see if I could kill it but I can say that it actually seems to clean slightly better in July than in January. Remember, most forms of bacteria (which are also made up of simple proteins and amino acids I believe) actually thrive much better in hot weather. I'm sure that if you left it on your dashboard with the windows rolled up in August that it would kill it, but if you did that with Bore tech, you would have a solvent Chernoble in your cockpit for sure. I remember from a post of your's awhile back that you keep all your ammo in a cooler during the match. Good idea. If it worries you, keep the Coppermelt in there too but I think that is over-reacting. It really is not as frangible as it sounds. I have not been kind to mine all the time and it still has a gruesome appetite for copper. Bottom line: Please don't discourage folks from trying it just because you don't like it for some reason that's not founded on personal experience. I don't really care if you don't want to believe me. It is no skin off my teeth if you don't try it. I don't get part of the proceeds. I was just trying to help a fellow shooter.
