[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1566407, member: 39764"] One picture says a thousand words. All I use now and all I ever will use. One thing about BTE is.. You have to use nylon bore brushes and a CF cleaning rod. Patches are fine so long as the patch puller is nylon as well as the jags and always keep the stuff out of your action, I use a Tipton bore guide, always. Tipton also offers a nice nylon bore brush set (Amazon.com) for much less that buying brushes from the BTE people. I know it works and works very well because I inspect all my bores before cleaning and after cleaning with either my Hawkeye (Gradient Lens) borescope or an electronic inspection camera. The before and after difference is amazing. I also clean the tubes on my handguns with it, especially my S&W 460 XVR revolver which I hunt with and shoot jacketed pills. Used to use Sweets 762 solvent (works too) but stinks terribly. BTE has no smell. I know people who 'swear' by other elixers, that is until I get the Hawkeye out and let them actually see inside their tube and at what a poor job their 'elixer is doing or not doing. BTE and only BTE for me. I do follow it with a patch of Rem Oil if the firearm is to be stored. BTE tends to strip any preservative from the bore. [/QUOTE]
