best copper fouling solvent

[whitetailwoodsarcher]

Well I just got my ruger gunsite scout, after 120 rounds the bore is covered in copper. I have tried hoppes copper solvent and it took a little bit of copper out but the rifling is still covered. Even left it over night soaking and still nothing. What does everyone use?

Try wipe out you can spray it in and let sit over night and it does not harm barrels.

Wipeout or Otis. Hoppes doesn't do anything

Here's another plug for Wipeout. Not often you get EXCELLENT and CONVENIENT in the same can, but with Wipeout you do.

Hoppes is useless for removing solvent. Cr-10, and Sweets 7.62 work well, and KG-12 is likely the best that I have used. Wipeout works, but it isn't fast.

All my cleaning products are Remington or Hoppe's 9 and I have no problems other then the Remington gun grease is not up to what I need for my M305. really depends on what kind for firearm you have and what alloy you ammo is what cleans my rifles I don't think will cut it on a Savage 110 BA or a C14 timberwolf...

Another vote for KG12. Plain and simple. Look up the copper tests others have done. Nothing beats it.

Sweets 7.62 but it's hard to find anymore.

Never used it but I never have heard bad things about it other then making people woosie... nothing an opened window and or a good fan wont fix. I know I have found all kinds of uses for Remington action cleaner around the house.

KG12 has the least odour of any solvent I've used. It has no ammonia.

CR10 or Butch's Boreshine might do that to you.

 

[Sask_Hunter]

Cr-10 or a new barrel. I'm way passed dealing with barrels that foul fast.

 

[quarterman]

I have found wipe out to work the best

 

[Trinimon]

Another vote for WipeOut. Almost zero scrubbing required. Spray the foam, let is sit a few hours, run a few patches and you're done. The sh!t just works. Stay away from CopperZilla or FrogLube solvent, they do nothing.

QuakerBoy house hold ammonia. 5 bux for a bottle that will last years

KG-12 has no equals in removing copper fouling, at least none I have tried yet.

 

[canoetrpr]

I've been using Butch's. Seems to work fine.

This is what I use. The active ingredient in any copper solvent is ammonia, so you might as well get it in the least expensive form.

Not true!

From the KG site:

Unlike ammonia-based products, there is no need to neutralize KG-12 or to remove it quickly because KG-12 contains no ammonia.

My goto product for awhile now..before that Hoppe's remover

Pro Shot Products copper solvent is also very effective, has no ammonia and no strong odours.
