Can anyone help on this matter. I've been wondering what to use after shooting corrosive...I think this might work...Hoppes 9 in bore, gas system, op rod, bolt, chamber.
Then wipe everything. Use some Rem action cleaning on trigger group, bolt carrier and cover. Then spray some Rem oil everywhere to keep lubed up. Is that a good cleaning method??? Let me know if I should change anything. Newbie here

I'm fairly new as well, but here's my routine (thanks in advance everyone, I KNOW it's overkill):
-shoot, enjoy, let cool (my barrel is always too hot to handle after a day at the range).
- disassemble completely (I do this as much for fun as anything). Clean everything thoroughly with remoil, use remington cleen-bore in the barrel
- dry thoroughly, reassemble. a couple drops of hoppes #9 on the bolt spring as it goes back in.
- a few drops of hoppes #9 on the bolt slides, and inside the trigger assembly.
- wipe everything down with a clean rag, no finger oils on the ouside
- put away safely.
-Seriously contemplate, AGAIN, putting razor edges on the puncture-bayo, just for kicks.

The one you have linked to is for black powder. They do have different types of lubricant, which is clearly visible on the left side menu of the screen page..
This is what i do after shooting Corrosive Ammo...I completely strip the Rifle including taking the firing pin out of the Bolt. I then run boiling hot water down the barrel (2 kettles full) i pour hot water down the Gas tube ...the hot water evaporates very quickly and cleans out all the crap, Trigger Group i run under tap Hot water then use compressed air to dry. After that i run a dry patch down the barrel to make sure no water is left inside then i clean as per normal using Solvent then finish up with coating everything with Hoppe's # 9 then reassemble. Regarding the firing pin i tend to cover with thin coat of oil ( Break free )wipe down well and reinstall inside the bolt. Never had any problems with slamfires and the pin rattles great. I know it is a bit over the top and takes awhile but it does keep my Firearms in mint condition.

So Am I getting it correctly?
Hoppes 9 would neutralize the corrosive salt right?- Location

nine and nine plus are different products. The Nine I use is a lubricant as illustrated here: h ttp://www.hoppes.com/products/lubricating_oil.html

Remember: grease what slides and oil what pivots.
Grease: preferably a high stickyness index gear grease. Green lithium or something like Loctite's Superlube if you prefer something colorless and odorless.
Oil: any good fireams oil or synthetic motor lube.
Dab some grease on the working parts that slide against each other, action and bolt carrier rails; don't forget to put a small amount on the contact part of the hammer head, where the bolt slams against it on the ejection/arming stroke. Clean the piston and wipe a small quantity with a rag on its surface, just to make it shiny, that's enough.
Oil the trigger block's pivoting parts.
That's about it.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I am using Castrol synthetic grease. It is a multipurpose grease and is a bluish color. Works extremely well. I also have some synthetic weapon grease, but it has nothing on the Castrol stuff.
