I would like to retract my earlier praise for the Outers "Foaming Bore Cleaner".

This product does not clean your bore. All what it does is that it shines your bore, on top of all the dirt thats indside it !

Yesterday, I wanted to find out how well the Outers "Foaming Bore Cleaner" had worked, after one hour indside the barrel.

Using Hoppe #9 and wire brush, "tar" was runnig out of the barrel ! I simply could not believe how dirty my barrel was, after using the Outers "Foaming Bore Cleaner". This product does not work in cleaning your bore !
 
I have not used the Outers product, but I do use Wipeout. Wipeout cleans the bore well if you let the product work overnight, but it doesn't do much in an hour either. Perhaps you did not give the Outers stuff a chance to do it's thing.
 
I've tried it, and it worked so well I bought more!

Before I used it, however, I swabbed the bore with solvent to remove the normal powder fouling and ran a dry patch through after the black crud stopped coming out. Then I put in the foam to work on the copper. No more black stuff, but plenty of blue stuff, which is pretty well what I anticipated.
It seems to me the foam is intended for copper fouling, and it works really well for that.
 
any product that you have to wait a day or two for it to work is not for me.... I want my guns cleaned and back in the cabinet in a reasonable time... not a week later.
 
IMHO Hoppes works far better for carbon fouling. BUT When it comes to copper, the Foam is superb. Fill the barrel with foam after you have scubed the barrel clean and leave overnight. The patches will come out blue with black. The blue is copper thaqt had disolved and the LITTLE bit of black was stubborn carbon. Yes it takes over night but it dosent have to be done all the time. Leaves an almost spotless barrel.

Want to speed up your cleaning, run a soaked patche of hoppes through your barrel at the range, it will work all the way home the barrel cleans much faster.
 
I use Sweets 7.62 at the range and at home. works great. Run a patch or mop coated with the sweets, let the barrel sit for a couple of minutes and and then start runinnig patches of solvent through until you they come out clean. Last thing is to run a dry patch or two just to check. Downfall is that the Sweets can be pricy, but it really works and fast.

Another way to deal with the carbon on top of the copper is is to give the barrel a shot of Break-Clean before applying the foam. Recently I started applying the foam with the bolt closed and found that I used less foam, and got a better fill in the bore. Just give the can a short shot , and hold it in place over the muzzle until the foam begins to seep out of the gas release hole in the receiver.

Once you get your bore clean with Wipeout, you never need to take more than a overnigth soak, in my experience.

I have a small shop/gun room so getting the rifle back in the cabinet is not an issue for me. I would much rather spend 30 seconds to squirt a rifle with Wipeout, go do somethign else for a few hours or overnight and spend another 2 minutes patching out the gunk than spend 20 minutes or more scrbbing with tradiditonal copper removers.

Although, if I am in a hurry for some reaosn, I will grabt he CR10.

Wipeout is better than the OUters stuff, BTW.:)
 
In all my varmint rifles Ive found nothing works like Wipe-Out. Ive been using the stuff for years and have found no product compares to how well it cleans and how easy it is to apply.:)

Cheers!!
 
I will, for now, stick to wire brushes and Hoppe # 9, as well as other cleaners that requirer lots of elbow grease, when cleaning my various rifle bore :)
 
Thanks Baldman. I'll follow up with P-D about Wipeout.

In the interim I acquired some foaming bore cleaner by Gunslick and it worked very well. My .270 would not come clean despite multiple attempts to remove copper with various brushes and ammonia based copper solvents.

Four applications with the Gunsick foam throughout the course of an afternoon and the barrel is now free of any copper deposits.

One cleaning with Wipe Out would have done the same as your 4.DAN>>>:p :D
