[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 351206, member: 11717"] Jon, I agree that it has been a big learning process. I have learned a lot about cleaning in this process as well as over the past couple of years. It would be a lot less brutal proces with a quality custom bore for sure. I felt the BTE on the rifle surfaces more than I saw it down the bore. it seemed to linger on my finger tips for days. BTE is a very good copper remover but not quite what I originally thought it was. It does start acting immediately, but when it gets down to the stuborn stuff you need to let it soak for a while. I have been able to use it to clean down to bare metal, but wiht a bad fouling bore it will take a few longer soakings of 30 min or more. I found the easiest (not necessarily the shortest) is to get most of the copper out with BTE and then soak a couple of times with Wipeout. BTE gets about 70-80% of the copper out very quickly, but the rest of the stuborn stuff is easier to get with Wipeout (or Gunslick foam cleaner which works about as well as Wipeout in my experience).
