I use Hoppes Benchrest to soak badly fouled bores overnight. Plug, fill, soak, brush = voila!Deer season is over so I'm cleaning the guns to go back in the safe. I've used products like Butch's Bore Shine or Kroil with JB Bore Paste to get out everything including copper, but I always have to shoot a box of ammo to get accuracy back.
This year I'm going with good ole Hoppes to get the fouling out and maybe a smidgen of copper, but I'm not going for bare steel.
Anyone clean their hunting rifles with just Hoppes?
Its also effective for removing leading from cast boolits or soft lead point jacketed bullets.
