[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1795304, member: 63925"] I think I have tried virtually every conceivable approach to cleaning carbon since I use RL16 a lot in my 300WSM and I can attest the ONLY approach that I found remotely effective was a copper brush wrapped with patch using JB's and Butches Bore Shine. I have a shelf of "carbon removers" that did little or nothing to clean the carbon out any better than pure mechanical effort with brush, patch and JB. My only gripe is that a lot of new "temperature stable" powders seem to generate more carbon than ever before. But they shoot so darn good I will live with the extra effort to clean barrel. I just have to increase my bore cleaning frequency so it doesn't turn into shoulder PT later. As for the Butch's odor, I sometimes light a candle that my wife no longer wants off the bench area to be safe but to take care of the organics in the air. I also use my Ozonics on my upper shelf over the bench and it does great job in destroying odors coming off my bench. If I had venison sometimes the odors are not from bore cleaning..:eek: [/QUOTE]
