[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1794252, member: 2736"] Hoppes is one of the least aggressive solvents available and one of the few that you can leave in a barrel very long. I prefer Butches for break in (Because it cleans fairly fast, the BoreTech Eliminator can be left in over night without damage to the bore and also works great. Your barrel still shows signs of copper fouling and using the bore scope you will be able to see when it's clean. There are other good cleaning solvents but read the instructions carefully and follow them to the letter. Aggressive solvents have been the downfall of many good barrels when not used correctly. Some solvents are so aggressive that they are apply and remove immediately solvents and then follow up with a solvent like Hoppes to remove any remaining solvent That might be left in the chamber or bore that could damage them.
