[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 457126, member: 3745"] I use 50BMG solvent and found it very effective at removing copper, as others have noted it has a STRONG ammonia smell. It was recommended to me by Kirby years ago, but he also cautioned about leaving it in the bore too long on when cleaning a custom lapped barrel. In other words 20 min or so max, no overnight soaks. I have switched to using the foaming bore cleaners, Birtchwood Casey and others make it and it is non ammonia. Fill the bore and within a few min, blue liquid will start dripping out of the end of the barrel. Repeat a couple of times, run a few clean patches through and you are finished. At first, I would always run a 50BMG patch through to check for copper........ there seldom is, so I mostly skip that step now. Have not tried Wipeout, from some of the other posts have said I need to get some in and try it. [/QUOTE]
