Some of the more aggressive cleaners also eat away at the bronze brushes. There is usually a warning on the label of the ones that do.Don't want to side track the thread, but sort of related. How come folks use nylon brushes and avoid the bronze ones? I would think the bronze ones would do a better job than the nylon ones.
Am I dumb for using bore tech carbon remover first and then using bore tech copper remover? Is it better to just use bore tech eliminator for everything?BEST on planet earth!
I do the same. Reasoning is remove the easy stuff first (carbon) and then be more aggressive with the more difficult copper... I guess it does not really matter.Am I dumb for using bore tech carbon remover first and then using bore tech copper remover? Is it better to just use bore tech eliminator for everything?
Hell yeah just the information I was looking for. I'll cut way back on the sweets and run it like you do just a patch or two right when I am done at the range. That is very smart. Looks like I need to get some KG stuff as well. Thank you and very informative.RckyMtnRutt I still use Sweets in the open air and not in my basement.
I got sick as a dog for several days hand running for using Sweets indoors but after shooting the rifles I bring it to the range I run a patch with Sweets while the copper is still warm and let it sit for 5 minutes and while warm you would be surprised at how much copper I get out and then I run a couple dry patches and then oil until I get home.
I then use K G products and it cleans way faster than Eliminator.Carbon first and then copper solvent.
I have most brands here and some you most likely have never heard of and most all sit unused.
I use Pro-Shot brass brushes and cut my cleaning time in half or more with K G Products.
I do still use Eleminator to make sure the Copper is really gone as it gives blue on the patches if there is a little left,scrub a little more and recheck.
I had a high spot in my 300 weatherby mag so I shot Tubbs final finish through and smooth the high spot out now all good 20 minutes and done.
Still have my original bottle of Sweets I bought many years ago.
