[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2421792, member: 121205"] I've tried it all as I suspect many of you have. About 12 years ago I went all Tipton carbon fiber, use rife specific polymer bore guides and nickle plated Tipton jags with quality flannel patches. I remove carbon first with Hoppes #9, using a bronze brush when needed. For copper I use Wipe Out non-ammonia copper solvents (foaming and liquid). Once done I leave a light coat of Hoppes #9 in the bore and chamber. If the rifle will be stored for longer periods I use a light coat of Ballistol in the bore and chamber. Yes, all pretty old school less the Patch Out/Wipe Out. I do have other products like Sweets 7.62, Kano Oil with polish media and bore sized felt pellets in hand. But those largely occupy shelf space these days. The above meet all my needs less for lead removal from cast bullets. For that Wipe Out Lead Out is used post carbon removal and when needed I use a caliber specific Lewis Lead Tool (Brownell's). [/QUOTE]
