Barrel cleaning POLL
Barrel cleaning POLL
I am running a bore cleaning products mini comparative test in the Shooting SHED and it would be interesting to see what people use to remove copper, carbon, moly, lead and nitro fouling from rifle barrels.
This applies to rifles using modern shooters powders and I am not including black powder rifles or cleaners in this Poll. There are 17 options and you can vote for every single one if indeed you use all of them however I am really interested in your top 3 copper/carbon etc cleaners.
If you have any specific findings you would like to share I would be interested including double dosing, using accelerators, different types of patches and brushes and even the use of hot air blowers to warm barrels.

Re: Barrel cleaning POLL
I use Ed's red for carbon, oil gunk and general cleaning.
Ammonia for copper fouling.
ATF and acetone 50/50 or Kroil for lifting leading.
Use nylon brushes for application and tight patches for removal.

Re: Barrel cleaning POLL
I use Butches Bore shine as it removes both powder residue and what little copper fouling there is.

Re: Barrel cleaning POLL
53 votes, either we have a lot of people on this forum who do not shoot or do not clean their barrels or do not care about this poll.
Come on people
