[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 702064, member: 21068"] It's certainly normal [U]and expected[/U] to clean easier and faster as the process proceeds. But one thing I found with BT Eliminator, is that it will [B]without a doubt[/B] give false copper readings from my Dewey brass/bronze jag and the connection to the rod itself. I was able to simply rub a wet patch along the jag and got blue.......the more I rubbed, the more blue I got and the darker it got. The CU+2 copper remover didn't seem as bad in this regard, but still something to watch for; because it did it too, just didn't seem as much. When I quit seeing copper on the lands from the muzzle/crown with an ultra-bright light (sun light for example) I called it "bare metal clean"..........Copper will show up like a spotlight reflection on the lands with the sun "just right" looking down the barrel from the muzzle. Even with false indicators, it's perfectly normal for it to clean easier and with less patches than the first couple shots........that's what we're after. [/QUOTE]
